Reply #7: perhaps a *bit* of a generalization

[ulysses]

but yeah - actually, I was relating to some of my non-white colleagues the other day my experiences as a white man in the south. It really is true - if other white men are of a conservative bent and don't particularly know my own politics, they'll freely share some of the most obnoxious and horrifying opinions on race, secure in the assumption that I believe as they do.

Of course it should be challenged.
