What I meant when I wrote "in general" was "as a group."
For example, Anil Dash, CEO of Fog Creek Software, makes a blanket statement about Christians in this tweet:

"No other religion’s followers in America insist on every public official being of their faith."
That is a statement, not about a specific individual or group of Christians, but Christians in general. And it's offensive and ridiculous. I know many Christians, but not one of whom for which that statement holds true. Well, I suppose it could be true for some, but most, I know for a fact, it's not.
It's like someone saying "Jews are cheap." It's a blanket statement that I think is offensive and ridiculous. However, I've had Jewish relatives who were, in fact, the cheapest people I've ever known, beyond caricature, and I said that about them, in particular, on more than one occasion.
