I see. I appreciate the civil demeanor in your response.

You are correct, I do group folks according all kinds of specific demographics, but I must point out that in the post I responded to you referred specifically to discrimination, which I despise wholeheartedly as a member of a federalyl recognized Native American tribe. I said what I did as it is a paradigm that helps to shape how I act towards others in the public domain (read above: "when I was in the Navy..."). I've done a lot of cycling in a crowded southern CA megalopolis and there are an awful lot of cyclists there who see it fit run red lights/stop signs, blow through intersections out-of-turn, weave through slow moving traffic, etc. It's most definitely a sub-culture that does group rides - they're terrible about clogging up In-N-Out late at night. My point initally was just to say that there are cyclists like that out there, and it is fitting of those of us who abide by the law to promote that. Where I currently live there are plenty of cyclists, but I have yet to see the yahoos like I did in CA. I certianly can understand how you don't see patterns among motorists, but again my point is that our collective cognitive structure is such that we seek patterning, and it's not uncommon to see the behavior of a single entity and apply it to the whole. If that is honestly not something you do, then I would argue that you are an outlier on that bell curve, but of course I have nothing objective to back that claim up with.
