When you give people individuating information, they use it. Nearly the whole stereotyping literature relies on studies where people only get stereotyping information--no individuating information--so, of course, people use the stereotyping info.

Apart from the moral and long-term strategic questions, a regime-change war in Venezuela would not be fast or simple. www.thebulwark.com/p/no-venezue...
No, Venezuela Is Not a ‘Small Latin American Country’
And talk of a quick invasion and easy ‘regime change’ is dangerously misleading.

The Trump administration tells the Supreme Court it can’t be compelled to fully fund SNAP because paying out the money would “irreparably harm” the government, while SNAP beneficiaries … *won’t* be irreparably harmed by going hungry? The balance of equities here is completely upside down.
