Generally a Bad Option
I try not to generalize. Its quite often not very fair to people.
Generalizing not only usually involves making a lot of assumptions but also judging people based on a few key elements.
Generalizing can often paint a more extreme version of a person, good or bad. Whether you start seeing someone through rose-colored glasses, or a negative outlook, it’s not good. This is because it’s not the whole truth. Seeing a real (because an actor’s characters don’t count, but the actor does) person as something else is a bit of a lie. Also if you lump someone with a whole group you leave out what makes a person unique and that’s not much fun either.
So try and avoid generalizations.
