  • Why is stereotyping and racism towards groups bad, yet so many people make statements like "all cops are ***"

    I figure these are simply criminals who don't like cops because of what they stand for. That is, having to deal with punishment for their crimes.

    How can they possibly paint all cops with the same brush without knowing them? How is this any different than someone saying "all blacks are crooks, or all chinese are bad drivers, or all middle easterners are terrorists, or for that matter, all criminals should be jailed".

    Doesn't everyone deserved to be judged for who they are, not what they wear, or the job they do?
