If you get an impression from lots of rap videos that people of colour behave like gangsters can you then legitimately describe them all as such 'generally'? Or is it incumbent upon you to realise that you have selected a small and unrepresentative sample and look for balance. It's not difficult to find and talk to Paul Embery, Kate Hoey, Brendan Chilton, Thomas Fazi, Bill Mitchell, etc. Or for that matter me.

Of course not, however people of color is not a voluntarily made up group that represents an idea, since race is an attribute. You can criticize ideas a voluntary group stands for. I said this in my previous comment. If you cannot make observations about a voluntary group of people and their ideas, there's no point of them being associated with that group. Them being in that group is supposed to signify something. Opinions may differ as to what exactly it is supposed to be, I just offered my observation on that, that's all.
