    I think I might know which comment you are referring to (or if not, then I can relate to it from something similar I've recently read about). And I agree- it was bad to generalise. I don't doubt that there are people out there who are exactly the way she described that led her to generalising in the first place. But you'll find those types of people in all walks of life, not just in a certain group of people. If anything, this shows the danger of generalising (something that is probably really relevant in today's society when we think of how easy misinformation gets spread around).

    It's understandable that her comment would've made you feel inferior and a lack of confidence. And while there will be people agreeing with her comment, there will be plenty of people who disagree too- and they will probably point out the generalisation in her comment as well.

    Sometimes when we get upset by something we see in the news or online, it can help to take a break from what we are reading or watching. Hope you are okay <3
