Bill,

I found your response to my query very cogent and thoughtful. I trust and value your careful and objective thinking processes . (Don't go gettin' a swelled head, now - may just be a reflection on who I choose to associate with in 3-D;^)

Being on the receiving end of a stereotype leads to often exquisitely sensitive radar.    That exquisitely sensitive radar is capable of discerning subtle , often unconscious projections of others based on their internalized acceptance of the stereotype. However, that ultra-sensitive radar also picks up a lot of false signals, due to its very sensitivity. I'm just trying to sort that out.
