If you believe all members of an arbitrarily defined category of people behave the same way or think the same way or can be expected to respond in the same way, you're a bigot.

I don't believe I've seen anyone do this. (Hint: sex, race, religion, etc., aren't arbitrary categories).

Well, it's not like all member of the same sex/race/religion/etc. behave the same way or think the same way or can be expected to respond in the same way, either.

Not all, but most and their responses can be more similar than you'd think.

How do you know how similar I'd think their responses can be?
