2) A few Germans are Nazis, so all Germans are Nazis.

On the other hand I linked my story to articles showing a problem where gypsies as a race have failed to integrate in many places, I'm right. He's wrong.

One could say that no Jews integrated because a few ultra orthodox Jews don't. But that would be racist so I don't say it about the entire Jewish race.
