The generalization of all ________ are ________ is never a sound position.

And yes saying that a specific Quebec construction company is more corrupt then a specific Alberta company without evidence is discriminating based on place of origin.
This isn’t even consistent. First you say generalizations are bad then you switch gears and say only if it’s specific.

We can draw some conclusions based on the bigger picture about more specific instances but only as a known generalization. In order to make a specific judgement we’d need to examine that specific instance. It’s not all _____ are _____. It’s identifying trends. Quebec construction industry is more corrupt. That’s a known issue, ignoring it to avoid being discriminatory is just as bad as turning a blind eye.

It’s like you’re intentionally turning it into a catch 22 to avoid ever having to actually examine the broader issues.
