While I understand and support the issues against his behavior, I can't help disliking all kind of generalization.

Responsability is personal.

Responsibility is indeed personal.

Generalisations can be valid and useful, provided it is remembered that there is a variance around the mean. Often the variance is larger than the differences.

For example, what would you make of a statement made to me while having a good-natured informal chat about project planning? The other party was an Indian and his completely unprovoked and initially unexpected statement was that "you must remember that Indians believe in miracles". IMHO there are many incorrect conclusions that could be drawn.

I see, the only thing coming to my mind is that while all generalizations are wrong there is more margin in tolerating self inflicted ones. They are baffling.
