Wrong. He simply said you shouldn't apply a stereotype to NASCAR fans just because you don't like NASCAR. He then went on to tell you how he thought
your stereotype was incorrect. No acknowledgement was there, and there was no accusation of being politically incorrect.

Again, wrong. Stereotypes, when used, don't necessarily have to apply
at all. I could say "All P-car owners have wives/girlfriends named Buffy, and hang out at the yacht club wearing a sweater tied around their shoulders". Does that now apply to P-car owners in
general, as you said? Of course not... some hang out at the golf course and wear plaid pants!

And what's that one about being silent and being considered an idiot, or speaking up and removing all doubt?
