Yes, stop applying hate to generalizations of groups of people even your own.
I find this thread and it's title offensive and if it wasn't for the positive replies it wouldn't be here anymore.
This is the type of thinking that got our species where it is.
Wake Up!

I agree that stereotyping does not help and we build our sense of reality based on sterotypes which are cognitive constracts that are difficult to change. However, I have a problem with hate speech. Recently, in Canada two very brave journalists challanged Human Rights Commision showing that you can not have a freedom of speech and hate speech. I do not like name calling either.I think that our challenge is to find a balance between being honest and respectful. And most importanty to learn to laugh. Good belly laughter helps to deal with this sad reality.
