As I've grown older, I've come to realize that many people (too many, IMHO) are not only only somewhat aware* of cultural stereotypes but also seem to willingly, if not proudly adopt them as a vital ingredient to their persona. Like some vibe coders/script kiddies copy-pasting themselves an identity from barely-skimmed "data" they got from a friend of a friend who "totally knows what they're talking about, bro." 🙄🤷🏼‍♂️

*at least, that's what they'll tell you, ofc.
