So it’s a stereotype to describe what a country is literally doing … okay.

It’s a stereotype to ascribe traits to an entire group of people when you say “America” or “Americans” in The context given. Otherwise one would say , the United States government.
Of course , that requires effort.

I don’t do that because it wouldn’t be right. Doesn’t matter who did what to me in the past.
For instance if you were a plumber and you intentionally smashed a piece of furniture while at a clients house, does that mean all plumbers are violently vandalizing people’s homes ,no.
Because adult human beings know that the actions of one do not define the actions of all.
I am not changing this position. You can get the last word, throw an insult at me or do nothing.
Choice is yours but I’m done. I don’t have to defend the correct position. It is correct.

I just, I do not understand why this upsets people so much.
I work for a company that does things I don’t want them to do all the time. I’ve never felt like someone saying “[the company] wants to do [this thing]” was ever referring to me specifically whatsoever.

What if they said employees of your company all support a thing? That would include you.
Its absolutely insane to say all Americans support Trump when he has a net negative approval rating pretty much everywhere, including red states. Look at the opinion polls, most people don’t like what’s going on. Yet for some reason, people claim the majority of us like him for some reason.

You are right. I don’t disagree at all. But racist mentallity is insane, and that is what I’m calling out. As do you.
