The interesting part of this pushback isn't that there's between-individual variability with different populations, but that "white guy with stickers on his laptop", and the realm of predictive strategies that implies, is a very poor indicator of intellectual broadness or diversity. But do you really care, seeing as to how you've already furthered a theory of someone else being either emotionally hostile or defensive? And do you really not see the obviousness of how a certain situation plays out, of someone using white guy with stickers on laptop as a symbol for toxicity? Or do you see the obviousness, and that's why you're playing the situation out this way?
