I'm a member of enough flavors of minorities myself to know how lashing out against the associated majorities is bonding, catharsis, bringing light to the issues, all manners of worthwhile things. But even in the cases when it does not include me personally, I despise generalization. There is no way to defend yourself from it, and any attempt _will_ sound like apologetics of the priviledged. The only acceptable recourse is to shut up and take it.
You know me, so you knew enough to read what I said in the spirit of how I meant it. The previous commenter doesn't, and therefore took it, well, like it sounds.
