Dear people like me,

The next time you feel like saying "Not all <whatever>" to someone complaining about <whatever>, stop and think for a moment.

Was it directed at you? Is their argument correct? Are you part of a group that is actually guilty of this? Is defending yourself going to do more harm than good because you're derailing a conversation about an actual problem?

Even if you are actually innocent, it is likely you could be doing more to help. Just stop and think about what they said.
