This is a stereotype. Sure, there are nuts. But there are nuts everywhere. Youth sports problems are not a CT thing, they are an everywhere thing.

Not all stereotype. I have personally experienced some of what I wrote.

That’s not how stereotypes work. Just because you experienced something doesn’t mean it’s always like that or is the norm.

“I saw a black person commit a crime” turns into “black people are criminals” using your logic. You are stereotyping, and stereotypes should be called out. If you want to share experiences, then share them. But don’t label massive amounts of people while doing it.

Stereotypes are widely used oversimplifications. It is not a simplification if I accurately write about something I experienced. So I am sharing MY experience. Some minor points were generalized to obscure my identity.
