That's true, you sound intelligent. Stereotyping is one of the brain's mechanisms for prioritizing.
I live in a small WASP town where the majority eats the same, dresses the same, and acts the same. Our restaurants all serve the same food, our stores all sell the same kind of clothes. I didn't really notice it until I went to Chicago for a week. There was so much flavor and so many different kinds of people and things going on. My town is probably too small a demographic to expect to find a lot of eccentric people, such as vegans. (I know veganism isn't eccentric, but it is where I live)
It really is impossible to live a cruelty free life. It's not realistic and it's not even really natural. Animals are cruel, children are cruel, humans are cruel. My cats keep squirrels alive just to kill them slowly. Stephen Fry made some good points in an interview about the terrible things that exist in the world that have nothing to do with humans.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-d4otHE-YI
I'm not putting this here for the religious content, just ignore that if it bothers you, but when he's talking about the worm burrowing through peoples eyes... worth a watch. Smart guy.
IIN that I've never met an annoying vegan?
