I know I have a tendency to be a male and a skin color that is mainly white. I think most religions are a piece of crock, but I also like hearing their viewpoints. Etchetera...

As many others have stated here and elsewhere, it seems to be in the interests of media and lower-empathy individuals to want to cluster everyone in nice packages in a multidimensional spectrum. We just aren't built that way and yes, we can change over time.
