Why do people use one person to represent an entire group of people?
I’m sick of people using one person from a certain group to be the poster child for that entire group. This whole Perez Hilton thing is ridiculous. People seem to think that he represents all gay people and they are using that as an “excuse” to hate gay people. (To be honest, I don’t need nor want respect or support from people who are teetering on the brink of hating gay people and not hating them). But this is so stupid. There was a comment on YouTube that said something like “I don’t have a problem with gay people, but Perez Hilton is a disgusting fag.” And it had like 5 upvotes. So many meatheaded morons out there…
I just don’t understand the point of using one person to represent the whole. It obviously means you don’t care about understanding that group. You’re just looking for an excuse to push your own [idiotic] beliefs.
