    I don’t understand some people. Why do you go online and try to bring down strangers that you’ve never met in your life and probably never will? Why? What do you gain beside looking like a complete asshole?

      If that’s not just a rhetorical question… I think some people who have intense bias against people justify their beliefs with racist/sexist rationale. A lot of their other beliefs depend on these stereotypes to be true.

      If a person threatens these stereotypes they need to find a reason to eliminate the threat. Some start digging to desperately find something or they straight out claim it is a lie. Otherwise their whole worldview tumbles. I think people who overemphasize that this is an exception also fall into this category.
