What groups do you have in mind?

Because it's different when it's a choice.

I think discriminating against someone if they're white or gay is bad.

Discriminating against someone who chooses to be a furry is not as much a big deal.

Answer the question....is generalizing a group of people based off an extremely small portion okay?

Fail reading comprehension much? He very clearly stated that hes okay with generalizing groups that members can choose to be a part of or not, like furries and cops. Hes not okay with generalizing groups whose members did not make a voluntary choice to be included, like race, sex, and age.

Stay in school.

There is no difference. Would that guy be okay with generalizing someone who chooses to wear blue shirts instead of red? Wouldn't it be just as stupid to generalize them as dumb or whatever other generalization based on shirt color, as it would be to generalize someone based on their race? Both things are ultimately pointless. The color shirt someone wears doesn't matter, and neither does his race and to generalize based on those things would be idiotic.

To somehow try to say there's a significant difference between generalizing cops due to the actions of a few, and generalizing blacks due to the actions of a few is ridiculous. To say one is correct and the other wrong shows lack of common sense.
