Pattern recognition is an important aspect of intelligence. Unless they have been deliberately contrived by social engineers (e.g., bumbling white males in TV commercials), stereotypes exist because they represent patterns that we recognize in the real world. Take for example the stereotypical woke snowflake, who needs smelling salts if exposed to anything that deviates from absolute compliance with liberal ideology. This type is so common that even the militant moonbats who run human resource departments at woke corporations acknowledge it:

Best Buy, the technology retailer, offered “mental health resources” and “counseling services” to its employees after the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict was announced.

Snowflakes melt when reminded of the vast chasm between the liberal narrative and reality. According to the former, anyone who resists Black Lives Matter rioters as they loot and sets fires is a racist who must be destroyed. According to the latter, Kyle Rittenhouse is a decent if naive kid who justly defended his life from sociopaths who were trying to kill him.

Mark Irvin, Chief Inclusion, Diversity, and Talent Officer at Best Buy, doesn’t seem to like it that the railroading of Rittenhouse failed. He bleats:

We can do better, and we will do better, as each of us as individuals, allies, and human beings press [sic] together for better outcomes.

A “better” outcome in this case would have been an innocent boy getting immolated as a sacrifice to the wicked gods of leftist ideology.
