One should try not to generalize, however, to be completely oblivious or blind to recurrence doesn't look good on your part. A good-sized majority of Lady Gaga's fans have a certain image that tends to be accurate. A good-sized majority of Southern Republicans have a certain image that tends to be accurate. Et cetera. Things are as they are, and to try to brush it all off with nothing but a "don't generalize" response, not only stunts conversation, but also makes you appear oblivious to basic observational patterns.
