I find your reaction to this pretty toxic, tbh. Stop trying to assert your dogma and actually practice what you preach.
No one is saying that they are making assumptions for others or not allowing them to express themselves. But if you deny that you are prejudiced, you're going to end up imposing your own will on others because you continue to suffer from your predisposition without being cognizant of how that affects them.
I am talking about the people who are making assumptions for others and therefore not allowing them to express themselves.
If you want to talk about groups of people doing things other than this, why did you create two new accounts to reply to me?
I believe you're one of the people I'm talking about, and I don't think you're taking it very well to find out some folks think of you as arrogant.
I'm not surprised you find that, "pretty toxic, tbh", but I stand by what I said. You're not the first "empathetic" person I've talked to who gets unreasonably upset at the notion that their perceived good trait is actually a negative trait.
