The Minority Report

Not every man is a sexual predator. Not every woman is a feminist. Not every white person is racist. Not every person who identifies as a minority is oppressed.

The stories we are often told have a way of summarizing with sweeping generalizations. The generalizations are rooted in truth, of course, but ignore and ultimately suppress any divergent narrative.

There is always a minority report. It might be hard to find, and unbelievable at first. Especially given the strength of the major narrative. But it is there and warrants attention. Otherwise, we might actually believe that everyone we meet conforms to the stereotype we've heard.
