Best breakdown for not stereotyping I've ever read or heard. (And cows were just about the perfect example for me, since I've always lived in cities. So, to me, all cows did seem quite similar.)
It was in a book written by Hayakawa. I don't like what I have read about the man or his politics since I took linguistic, but it was a good book.
