Educate thyself...

I tend to have very diverse friends. I hang out in many different circles, so some of my best friends
don't even know each other. Many of my closest fiends are/have been skinheads, and they
are some of the sweetest, most loyal people I know.
Whenever other friends hear this, the look at me weird like they're wondering if I'm a racist,
or perhaps

I did not know all of that in its entirety. I knew about the SHARPs

There are very likely worse behaviors out there that could be implied from that one possible example. I know that there are some out there who purposely seek fights as a way to improve themselves or as a way to dis-prove others, and that this behavior would be actively encouraged by others.

The relevant truth here is that we are all mal-formed by media (including the Internet) as much as it also informs and shapes us all; I could easily see that some non-martial artists might also have misconceptions about martial artists as well.

The same thing applies directly to the stupidity that you had mentioned in your recent post. It's all the same thing with the same causes and it is spread in the exact same way.
