Do you consider yourself to be representative of anything? any group?
)
July 23rd, 2020
Would you want to be seen as representative of your age group, sex, race, ethnicity, nationality, educational level, political party, religious affiliation, anything?
What makes a person representative? Why do we want to view others as implicit spokespeople for whatever square they occupy in some grid?
It seems nuts to me to hang all these labels on people and then ascribe some kind of traits or honor or culpability to a whole group on the basis of what they do or say.
If I voice an opinion on something, what could that possibly tell you about others in my demographic? Do you think they all agree with me? I assure you they don’t.
