I think it's easy to compare strong stereotypes to a mental illness. I wouldn't consider Nazi anti-semitism to be particularly sane, for example.

But, as Flip tried to explain, Nazi anti-semitism moved beyond stereotyping and into prejudice. That would be akin to comparing a normal healthy concern for clean hands (stereotyping) into the damaging, unhealthy need to wash your hands 57 times clockwise and 58 times counterclockwise before washing your face, before getting into the shower (prejudice).

Tell me, could that be you?
