Every culture that has ever existed is more nuanced than outsiders think.

I grew up in Texas and I’m a liberal who’s lived all over the country. I meet lots of people in California who’ve never left home and think people from X are like A and from Y are like B.

But put four people from any location into the same room and you’ll find plenty of differences between them.

True, but sometimes people have trouble understanding that other people are as complex as they are--and to a lesser extent, their friends and family.

Aren't these saying the same thing?

I mean "put four people from any one location into the same room"
