I'll spell it out for you. Saying what "some races" do is a generalization. You're saying that entire races behave a certain way, without allowing for any consideration of the individual. I assume you're a white dude, but I have no way of knowing. For the purpose of discussion, do you want someone of another race to say that all white people think or behave a certain way? If someone meets a neo-nazi who hates visible minorities, should he then assume that
all white people are like that? No? Then don't tell us what "some races" do, because I'm sure there are a million exceptions within that race who would object to being swept up in your gross generalizations.
