I'm never really sure when to have faith in the patterns people report seeing in society. There's a spectrum - on one end stuff i buy like "i've learned men are really interested in casual sex" and on the other end stuff i don't buy like "all the Hispanics i know are so dirty"...

And in this case it's really easy to find the obvious data - but data isn't so obvious for other examples. What are some examples of pattern reports that you find to be in the middle of the spectrum - with conflicting data and a good chance that it's true but also maybe not?

Even better - what's an example of a widely accepted pattern that you think is just selective reporting/bad data/forcing the pattern to fit? And what's an example of a pattern that you think is true but most people refuse to buy into?

For this smaller question, I think it comes down to popular culture as it relates to your worldview. Safely assuming you're a liberal w/ leftist leanings; regardless of statistical veracity, the 2 examples you mention are a given for you, having been ingrained in you.
