Is generalization unconditionally evil?

Post Reply New Topic

It's wrong to make sweeping generalizations against whole groups of peoples, such as that all black people are lazy, all German Lutherans are Anti-Semitic, all Irish Catholics are drunks, all Jews are greedy, all Muslim Arabs are terrorists, etc. People who have a grudge against a particular group will point at someone within said group representing the worst stereotypes, and will make that out to be representative of all members.

The challenge is that people will use the generalizations above or those like them in order to attack accurate generalizations. For instance if I say "Most religious terrorism these days is perpetrated by Muslims" they will try to make it out as me saying "Most Muslims are terrorists".
