The problem, for starters, is that you believe in broad and untrue
statements.  Doberman Pinschers are not vicious by nature.  That's a
myth spread by people who don't know the breed and would rather live
with that lie rather than learn the truth.  

The same applies with racial stereotypes; they're spread by stupid
people who don't the truth and refuse to learn the truth.
