I think this is perfectly fair because young people like you
-
get into a lot more accidents with your reefer and your alcohol
-
and so it is--now, some of you are saying "That's a stereotype."
-
And it is a stereotype but it's a statistically robust one
-
and nobody lines up to protest this.
-
It's an acceptable stereotype to make a generalization from.
-
On the other hand, what if insurance companies determined
-
that people from Asia got into more accidents than people from Europe?
-
Would people be equally comfortable charging people from Asia
-
higher rates of insurance? Almost certainly not. So, the issues are complicated
-
as to what sort of generalizations we're--are reasonable to make
-
and what aren't. There's also a second problem.
