"Malleable malleus in the hands of maleficarum" I have to process that one...

So your saying that cultural bundling is a new fancy name for run-of-the-mill stereotyping. I agree to a degree. I get a feeling that cultural bundling is a more pervasive concept. To say that purple people all pick their noses is a stereotype. To say that purple people live in a Cursed Land, munch on berries, treat women badly, wear stupid hats, play with their poop, and worship trees is a bit more extensive than mere stereotyping.
