It works one way but not the other way around. Regarding the iron cross, it was sort of a sarcastic point at how ridiculous this thread is becoming - taking symbols and broad checklists and iconography and demographics to lump people to denigrating catagories, I'm sorry if you took it the wrong way. I know what Flip is.

But I could say you are young, Calgarian, skater...and put you in any number of catagories that you wouldn't want to be in.
Sorry but "applying a blanket stigma"? I don't remember saying that all people that fit that demographic MUST be racist.

See I didn't put him in any category, I said I found it plausible that he was part of a category.

I am a young twenty something, university student who used to skateboard, if you surmise that I MAY smoke pot every once and a while it wouldn't be totally out of the question.

Believe it or not there are entire professions and academic subjects that are based on our ability to relate factors of a person to their lifestyle.
