Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Ethnocentric thinking involves viewing the world from the perspective of one's own cultural or ethnic group, often resulting in a biased view of other groups. The tendency to evaluate people in an outgroup from the perspective of a member of that outgroup goes against ethnocentric thinking, as it requires taking into consideration the perspective of another group rather than solely relying on one's own perspective. Therefore, choice D is NOT characteristic of ethnocentric thinking.
