> People are so black and white

The social benefits of this type of thinking are too big to ignore for many people. You get to be a part of a group. (I'm going to skip any hand-wavey allusions to evolutionary psych because they don't really add much.)

I get the appeal. I'm just not always one of them. I'm sure I'm black and white on some things, but I always joke that my teamwork/togetherness gene is busted for the most part.
