What's arbitrary are stereotypes, period. They aren't statistics. They're suppositions at best.
Because I think you jumped the gun, initially, which lead B3 to his...post.
The point I'm trying to make is I don't believe stereotyping and supposition are even remotely similar.
Does that clear it up?
So, there's the initial quote. B3 says you tried to say the same thing as he did using a different word (supposition).
I've stated my contention to your discussion which lead me to remove my 'indeed'.
And, there you have it.
In which is actually an argument against stereotypes. If life is like a box of chocolates and you never know what you're going to get, how do you know a person who looks like they could fulfill a stereotype will fulfill a stereotype? It makes stereotyping a waste of time.
Right. And, it isn't until one actually opens the box until they can truly say they "know" a person and actually fit into preconceived stereotypes.
Now, off to praise team rehearsal.
