and you can not attribute the actions of individuals of a group and have them be representative of the that group if they are minority within that group. Plainly stated, if you make Jeffrey Dahmer your representative for gays, then you can make him the representative of white guys of people over 6 foot tall. Of people living in Milwaukee, or Wisconsin. Or the United States.
