White people being generally worse at dancing than Black might be true as a generalization, though. True enough to identify or notice to many, and their views be valid - again, noting they are generalizing. Sometimes, generalizations are true enough to identify. We don't have to ignore them, or refrain from saying generalized truths because there are exceptions. That's why they are called "generalizations." Just like you identify the behavior of Australian Brown Pelicans and describe them, even though exceptions are easy to find.
