Stereotypes often ring true which is how they become stereotypes. But many outdated stereotypes are out there that cloud current events and circumstances.
I’ve found that many new waves push us backwards even as they also propel us forwards and it takes time sometimes to assess if the movement is positive or not.
During that time, there are casualties, while we sort these things out. They are rarely sorted out because no line of action is the best for everyone. I’ve often been on the losing part of overwhelmingly favorable statistics.
