I'm too tired to correct the inconsistencies in your statements.
Think of it in terms of subjective subtleties rather than inconsistencies. I see most things on a relative level. Everyone is judging everyone else, it's automatic, how a person walks, their language body and verbal, what they say, how they say it, even the abstraction of their ideas is being evaluated by others.....etc..etc...
Only the most naive of people will deny judgement in themselves towards others. I shouldn't have used the words stereotype or generalise in this thread, I merely want people to be more complex in their outlook of things and stop buying into a cognitive bias of convenience because it takes too much effort for them to try and look at all the variables or implications.
Judging others is not a negative unless you run with it in a negative way, then it becomes judgemental. I recognise myself being a part of this even as I talk about it.
It might not be literal training. PC lingo is embedded in our language even though it hasn't done a thing to cure racism or stereotyping. It's like the DARE program, which is attractive only to the kids who would never use drugs anyway.

Actually what I said doesn't have to be literal, I was referencing influences from a person's environment. But I agree about the DARE program, that's actually a perfect comparison.
It's more of a cultural indoctrination, but it's stronger in college. In my mind I am constantly recalling a friend of mine after he graduated from grad school. He kept correcting every god damn thing I was saying... But it wasn't factual-based correcting, it was values-based correcting. Things he, as an INFP, felt strongly about, to use your own terms. But when values are confused with facts, it's called DOGMA.
Quite true. However I was never refuting this. Cultural indoctrination was actually what I was talking about as well. Is it impossible for me to have developed an individual view of my own? Does everything I do have to be a product of a cultural indoctrination?
Environment has it's influences of course, but a person can also evaluate those own influences if they are introspective enough to do so.
A PC person is one type of Nazi, a racist is another type of Nazi. The PC crowd uses certain non-violent social tactics employed by Nazis and communists. Professionals of various kinds not only have to do the jobs they trained for, they also have to act as narcs sniffing out signs of evil in the world around them. Not that they seem to mind. But it's just not the kind of world I was raised in. Those who were born into that kind of world are just used to the way things are. At least racism was out in the open, now it has been driven underground where is continues to thrive, and always will. And it has transferred to the non-white communities where, by some twist of logic, it's not considered racism because only white people can be racists.
Basically what I was alluding to.
There is a cure for this situation in the not-so-distant future. By the year 2030 the Earth will have reached its limit of sustainability. So by that time, childish social causes will be the least of our worries.
Hah cant deny that. People are repetitive....things go round and round and no one really learns anything.
The biggest problem with anything idealistic is that it starts at a single point filtered down from many different points...then it snowballs and gains traction, soon others are adhereing to that idealism but the more who do, the less it means as it is diluted beyond all recognition. The original meaning is lost, bowled over by rumour and misguided nonsense. Eventually we end up with some simplistic gibberish that lots of people live their lives by, but it is a ghost...a pale shadow, nothing but a big sheet with which to cover all reason.
Incidentally on the subject of my type, I dont put it on my profile out of a combination of laziness and the fact that too many people have a limited understanding of this theory and so see a person's types and functions as a reflection of that person individually.
Id rather have people simply read what im saying rather than read it through a filter of misappropriated jargon that they believe the cognitive functions are.
