    The question is why do you feel targeted. I’m as white as it gets - and I don’t feel targeted by the headline, generalised or shamed in any way or form. I get that headlines have to be edgy - that is the game of klick based 24h news circle.

      I feel targeted because I’m lumped into the title’s generalization. I’ve read a bit about informal generalizations afterwards and I get now that I don’t have to interpret it as such. Such generalizations are not as universally shunned upon as I thought as long as they don’t devolve into stereotypes.

      As for clickbaity titles, of course it’s a thing but they’re counter productive so I’d rather call them out.

      (I really should let this thread be already.)
