I've run across many people who will look for one fault within a person, or one negative predisposition found commonly within a group, and will thus reject the whole person or group. Recently a woman from Europe told me that all Americans are stupid. When I asked her why she thought that, she said, "because of your President." So, because you have a moron in the White House, evidently all people in this country are morons. Lovely
Now, someone might chime it, (they usually do), and say, "Mr. Homeless Guy, aren't you doing the same thing when you negatively characterize urban loft dwellers?"
No. It is a completely different assessment that I use on these rich, snotty, prejudiced, disingenuous....etc, people, ^-^ No one can own these downtown lofts without first qualifying for them. That means first of all, that they have access to a lot of money, and made a conscious effort to qualify the purchase of these over hyped, over priced, housing units. And only people with selfish motives would make such a wasteful purchase. Just read the advertising copy for these places. They reek of attitude. "For Discriminating Tastes" "Luxury You Deserve" "Upscale" etc. And only snotty rich prejudiced, selfcentered, disingenuous (etc) people would go for that.

All Americans are stupid, eh? You should have told her we aren't the ones who gave up their gun rights and independence like Europeans.
