So once again, you are applying your incorrect assumptions and what you were incorrectly taught to wide swaths of people, and then you can't understand why they don't act the way you expect them to act.

Once again, that's called bigotry.

Maybe once you get some adult life experience you will stop expecting certain people to act in certain ways.[/quote]

You just moved the goal post from accusing me of labeling ALL people a certain way to making generalizations. Sorry, can't really take you seriously if you're not even mature enough to not move goal posts.

Generalizations, by the way, can be accurate. For instance, would you agree or disagree with the statement Americans like baseball? Note that that statement doesn't say every single living American like baseball. But it is common enough that we can generalize.

Get the difference between "ALL" and generalization now?

I get that you are small minded and like to pigeonhole people.
