Stereotype much?

I think this applies to the whinny entitled millennial, obviously.

You *think* it does? You said it. Don't you know who you were talking about?

Some things I didn't think I had to come straight out and say because
they were obvious.

That's what everyone who stereotypes an entire group always uses as an
excuse.

"Well, I didn't mean *them*. They're OK, it's the *rest* of them that I
was talking about. You knew what I meant."

No, I only know what you *said*.


Gosh, don't take it so personal.

There was nothing "personal" about my response. I merely used my kids as
an example to show that she was stereotyping. I also mentioned their friends
- who I have no real personal connection to - and she used her own kids to
disprove her own comments.

Had she she said "Blacks are welfare thieves, Muslims are terrorists or
Jews are cheap, I would have responded with (basically) the same comments
and they wouldn't have been personal either.

It does apply to a large percentage
but like all generalizations there are exceptions.

When those generalizations result in stereotyping an entire group of people,
they shouldn't be used.


Be proud of your
kids but look around and you will see a lot of spoiled brats.

....which does not justify stereotyping.
