Are stereotypes ever irrational?
raggedjoe15y00

Is it? Although from a logic point of view such a definition is better, it is my experience what when people say "rich and white and smart and snobbish" they actuall mean AND in the boolean sense. The key is that the definition should be what a generic person (ie not one of us [ie one of "them"]) would think, rather than what actually makes sense/works.
