Not a snark - it is also possible that over time interactions with a few individuals could change you enough to ostracize entire groups - unless you explicitly guard against that.
This is the one I really don't relate to. There are plenty of terrible people in the world of every possible classification. I am always saddened when someone judges me because they had bad experiences with people of similar characteristics. I would never want to put someone else in that situation.
I've met lots and lots of horrible white dudes in the tech industry, but that doesn't stop me from assuming that new people I meet who fit that profile aren't terrible.
