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"...

Why do I buy one end and not another? Why am I okay with people reporting the men they know are more interested in casual sex but not that hispanics are dirty? Is it just sheer volume of people reporting it - everybody says the first one but only a few people the second?

Probably, though this seems like a bad indicator of accuracy. If you go back in time not even that far, most women would probably agree with patterns about women that today we don't consider to be accurate.
