So, not all are in the same boat.
The bad part is when people begin to push one another down with the support of their ‘parties’.

Indeed, stereotyping is a cognitive shortcut. That’s to say, the human mind uses stereotypes(beggar, politician, rich dude, Amit) because it’s inefficient & time-consuming to get to know everyone we meet as an individual.

The problem isnt so much about labeling, the issue really is when labeling becomes supremacist-labeling.
