Generalizations are unavoidable if you want to engage a broader audience, but generalizations are also varying degrees of right and wrong, almost never entirely right or entirely wrong. To disagree with a generalization, just talk about how it's an unproductive generalization, probably because it leads to an incorrect conclusion. You'll need a few counter-examples to support your point, but if you jump in with counter-examples first, you're just missing the point of trying to pick the appropriate generalization to support a productive conversation.
