I think it's considered homogenous because it's unfamiliar to most Americans.
In my travels talking to people from other countries, America often appears homogenous to them (e.g. all Americans have a gun, when in reality only 30-40% of households do).
- donotdoit 8y agoLove the "only" 30%-40%. What word would you use if it was 80%?, "about half"?
- chillacy 8y agoIf p(person matches stereotype) is less than .90 I wouldn’t consider it to be accurate... but maybe the payoff is so good and the risk of being wrong is so low that it’s worth it to always make the observation. What do you think?
