I very much appreciate your reasonable tone but disagree with the idea that anecdotal/inductive evidence is nonprejudicial. "Many Apple users are moronic fanboys" = "many Asians are terrible drivers."
It doesn't matter how many members of a subset of people you happen to know personally. The idea is not to generalize -- especially when your tone is rational and you can make your point just as well without resorting to reductive characterizations.
I hope that didn't sound too preachy.
