If you claim that you do not make generalisations about groups of people, then I swear that I am going to watch you and I am going to catch you doing it yourself. And when I do catch you, (and I always catch them) am I going to toss it right back in your face (metaphorically) and ask you for an explanation.
What we constantly see on OLO and other debate sites is trendies like yourself chanting this mantra that it is utterly wrong to prejudge, label or stereotype anybody, and then see them doing it themselves.
Talk about bloody doublethink.
Get it through you head that everybody makes generalisations about groups of people. It is an everyday occurrence. It is normal, natural and routine. Whoever put it in your head that it is wrong was a moron.
The problem with the trendy lefty humanitarian worldview is that it depends upon human beings complying with moral values that are unnatural and unobtainable, and which are so potty that the trendies can not conform to them themselves.
