I'm not sure I get everything you're trying to say. I guess you should try to realize that people are individuals. Some good, some bad, some smart, some dumb. Whatever group someone belongs to, good people will do good, and bad people will do bad.
Oddly enough I find atheists, negatively construed (we only don't accept there isn't a God and that says nothing else about us), are pretty generalisable. Go figure huh.
"I guess you should try to realize that people are individuals. Some good, some bad..."
Yes I tried that. It also happens to be one of my mother's stock phrases, right before she says something racist!
To be serious, however, since language is social the chance that thoughts aren't in fact social is probably 0.
