As long as it is true. Negative quality is negative quality. Then having no control over it does not change the reality that it is negative quality. Reality is cruel. Reality does not give a shit about fairness. Reality is indifferent.

Generalizations are helpful for communicating expediently, but it's good to avoid causing unnecessary offense or reenforcing negative feedback loops. Knowing your audience helps. It's usually safer to take shortcuts with people that already know you and your views well.

Whether something is ok depends on context and it's going to depend on who is experiencing it. Better questions: what are the effects of doing x and am I ok with those effects. Whether other people are ok with it may or may not figure into it.

If done in a rational way generalizing according to groups is useful for predicting probability of behaviour in people. This is done often in insurance and marketing as much as is possible before it conflicts with PR and PC. However people don't always think about it rationally.

My girlfriend is a redhead. She gets angry fast as hell. She also gets scared of random men sometimes. There. Yes. Yes. Let's not be too snowflakey. Ppl do both of these things every day. We try harder to have deeper views but that takes time and understanding of problems.
