> why it's seen as acceptable to make broad generalizations based on race and sex in this way?

In the current climate, it is acceptable to make broad generalizations about white males, however if the same exact generalizations are made about black people, then they will call you racist (Black Lives Matter), or if you make the same exact generalizations about trans or non-binary people, you will also have problems. I don't think they are anti-Arab anymore, they lost interest in the War on Terror because it wasn't working. Instead, it looks like they are moving to demonize the Russians and the Chinese. Obviously, the climate will change at some point.

Moving to? You've just described the bipartisan position of the US for the past 20 - 40 years.

You ain't seen nothing yet. It still hasn't reached its peak.
