it does not start to fall apart. you're trying to find a causation when we have little proof of any. yes, of course there's evidence, but when we're talking about an idea as vague and nuanced as this one, you can find evidence for just about anything.
so what i've chosen to do is what civilized people do: give the benefit of the doubt. if you're a criminal, i'll treat you like a criminal. if you're innocent, i'll treat you as a peer. what i won't do is treat a man like a criminal just because a lot of people who vaguely look like him are criminals.
society is made up of individuals. learning to treat each other as individuals rather than herds of cattle is one of the biggest advances in civility that society has seen. people like you are trying to regress from that. we should all be thankful that your backwards ideas are more uncommon than not.
