the problem is that most people don't even try to use their brains
anywhere near capacity, and it is this majority that takes stereotyping
of that sort seriously. Just look at the comments posted after any
online news article.<br>
<br>Complaints about "political correctness" are getting as old as the prehistoric views they are supposed to justify.<br><br>Regards,<br>Reinhard/Ron<br>Seattle, USA</font><br></div><font style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:10pt" size="2"><br>
