This is very important. I have met a person who has said "there are no red states and there are no blue states" because there happen to be some minority of liberals in red states and conservatives in blue states.

Just a brilliant, intelligent, coherent gentleman.

Generalizations are the mother of all wisdom. A wise person knows how, where and what to generalize. For example: seat belts save lives. Of course there have been people killed by them. People have drowned and could not get out; others because their car flipped over and burned to death. Fact is, there is nothing to be learned from that. Their deaths are terrible but the fact is (a wise person would say) nothing is t be learned from it. Still seat belts save lives.
