Outside politics, **“gerrymandering” can be used metaphorically to mean manipulating the boundaries, categories, rules, or framing of something so that it produces the result you want**.
So in an argument, if someone “gerrymanders” their reasoning, they might selectively define terms, group evidence, or draw distinctions in a very convenient way so everything appears to support their position.
For example:
> “You’re basically gerrymandering the definition of ‘success’ so that every outcome counts as evidence that you were right.”
Or:
> “He gerrymandered the categories until the data fit his conclusion.”
The key idea is **not merely being biased**. It implies *artificially arranging the boundaries of the discussion* to engineer a favorable result.
Depending on exactly what the person is doing, related terms are **cherry-picking** (selecting only favorable evidence), **moving the goalposts** (changing the standard when challenged), **special pleading** (creating convenient exceptions), and **motivated reasoning** (reasoning toward a conclusion you already want). “Gerrymandering” is especially apt when the manipulation involves **how things are divided, classified, defined, or framed**.

One set of stereotypes is determined by a dominant culture that has social standing to sit in judgment of the lesser cultures.
The other set of stereotypes is determined by lesser cultures maf that they are not the dominant culture.
Obviously the first set has more legitimacy than the second, which is just sour grapes. You obsessively bumped a 12 year old thread 7 times over the course of a day with nobody replying to you, which reinforces everything we say about azns.
