It is easier (or more convenient) to hate a stereotype than understand a person. The ruling elite know this and so foster the compartmentalisation of people into groups like firemen and bankers, doctors and hoodies, asylum seekers and migrant workers by way of the mainstream media. Divide and conquer - oldest trick in the book. (and anybody who thinks that the media is never manipulated for political or financial purposes should take a look at this:

God forbid any of us learning that hoodies are people just like everyone else. If we all start to look at each other as human beings and not stereotypes, we might start to ask questions about why our society is so fractured in the first place - and that would never do, would it?
Governments only have power (the power to issue ID cards, install video cameras all over the country, the power to change the law so that police can arrest Anybody for Any Thing including littering, the power to send troops into illegal wars etc, etc, etc) because we give it to them. That power belongs to us and they're abusing it, but we're allowing them to abuse it. Why are we allowing it? Because we're all too busy being distracted by hoodies, bankers and terrorists to notice. We're at each other's throats. Big Brother doesn't need to watch us any more, he's got us watching each other.
Call me a conspiracy theorist if you want, but don't blame me when the One World Bank comes along, then the One World Currency, the One World Government, One World Army, One World Religion and a jackboot at the throat of your children.
We are all just people; good, bad or indifferent, so hating a stereotype is not only mindless but also very dangerous.
