Ah, the old, "We can't say X about this group because doesn't apply to every single member" fallacy?

Of course we know you don't believe that, otherwise you'd be unable to have any opinion about any large social group (which would make it impossible to be a feminist, for example).

I only ask that you apply a single standard to your beliefs, instead of "general trends OK" for things you want to believe, and "one exception disproves any general statement" for things you want to disbelieve.

People are diverse and you are lumping large groups of people based on the actions of the ones _you_ are noticing.

I don't understand what kind of standard you expect to have. Can you please give me an example, and say, how it might have applied to civil rights?
