But I’d say building stereotypes – and fighting for them – is no privilege of the Westerns or the Enlightened. I had the chance to see myself doing the very same as a Chinese co-worker came for a year assignment. Luckily for me she was around for a year and I learn most of my ideas about China were downright stereotypical. As did she, I imagine. I’d say stereotyping is a common feature among us humans. Some sort of evolutionary tool.

This article takes it to a different level. It takes these oversimplifications to level of cultures in societies and special these intellectuals or Enlightened – as I like to call them. It is proper to denounce it. These stereotypes bring much more harm than the aid they foster.
