"You generalize too much" , "You haven't met everyone in the world to say that" along with "Where did you hear or read that?" are common blurts from the politically correct.
For one thing, the second one is an impossible standard to measure up to and even they must realize it.
One does not have to meet everyone in the world to identify some kind of patterns or regularities amongst certain groups of people.
For example, the average Asian is shorter than the average white person; more blacks live in poverty than don't, the majority of terrorists in the world are Muslims, etc. Like it or, not that's the way it is.
Another thing is, they only seem to use the last when someone brings up a pattern that they don't agree with or like. When they do agree with the observation they don't demand proof or sources, their own judgement is good enough for them. But only then, of course.
They only choose to believe what they want to. Do they ever think of the hyprocrisy in that?

Averages are fine and dandy but to bring them up time and after time does nothing but slow the argument.

There are a lot of young girls on this site that do that. They live in a big house out in the burbs and dont deal with normal people on a regular basis. They think what they see on tv is reality and that all families have a dvd player in their suburban. The truth is they don't know shiite about nothing and you do, be happy.
