Sorry, I wasn’t clear enough. By “so does everyone else” I meant “everyone else considers the groups they belong to to be better, to some extent and in some respects, better than others”.
Ah, that clarification certainly changes your post for the better. Thanks. In light of it, I do agree that the second scenario is common; but looking closely at it, I’m not sure that it’s actually different to the first scenario. In both cases, A thinks her group is better; in both cases, B discerns that fact and calls excessive attention to it.
