No, I don't think they need to do what you're suggesting. I'm simply saying that it's discouraging to me when I see some HKers or non mainland Chinese wiping all mainlanders with the same brush because someone poked them in the leg once with an umbrella or their hotel front desk agent told them once that all mainlanders are thieves. It's bad enough that some others out there feel it's valid to stereotype, and even more discouraging that some other Chinese are doing the same.

Anyways, it's clear that people are going to hold firm on their views being right. Arguing about it isn't going to change anyone's minds.
