You have just committed an attributional bias called "the fundamental attribution error."

The fundamental attribution error is the inclination individuals need to overemphasize individual qualities and disregard situational factors in judging others' conduct. As a result of the fundamental attribution error, we have a tendency to trust that others do awful things since they are terrible individuals.
