sometimes it overlaps - americans are loud / british are nerds.  that's both.  thats oversimplification and wrong.  stereotyping is bad when we try to be judgmental abt certain grps therefore not allowing creativity and individuality which is everpresent to surface.

categorization is inevitable when it comes to wealth, power and position.  wealth leads to position that leads to power.  so its not necessarily related to brainpower as opportunities open for those whom we couldnt fathom as to how Providence allow it to be so!  

agree?
