That is an excellent thinking you have on breaking up the poison of
"stereotype"!
I wholly (did I spell that right?) agree.

Unfortunately, we learn by analogy, and another way of defining that is to
say stereotype.

Are you saying if it looks, walks, quacks, we shouldn't stereotype it as a
duck? Sure would make all experience brand new.

Whatsamattah...? Didn't you fully read Robatoy's text? My reply was my
appreciation of what he had to say there, no judgment intended.

All I can say about it is:

If I happen to be walking along a jungle trail where there have been persons
eaten by tigers, and a big black and yellow striped kitty cat jumps out of the
bushes, you ain't gonna find me walking up to it to do any ear scratching or
tummy rubbing.

And if that be profiling, or stereotyping, etc., then so be it.
