There is a difference between common stereotyping and generalizations based on statistical analysis.

Stereotyping implies simplistic (and usually wrong) generalization.

Statistical generalizations involve complex mathematical analysis based on proven science.

I am sure your grandmother was a very nice person and would see the difference.

I don't argue from stereotype's, I argue from statistics.

If a state keeps voting in racists and bigots, it is rational to think the state has a lot of racists and bigots-lol.

If a state supports Trump, it is rational to guess most of them might be uneducated or racist.

And in a decade when have you ever seen me lie!
