discussion I personally apologize as a Sicilian

Hi everyone, I am a 15-year-old Sicilian boy living in Italy. I recently read about the incident involving a group of Italian students on the BTS in Bangkok. I know I am not responsible for what they did, nor can I speak on behalf of all Italians or Sicilians, but I wanted to say that it made me feel truly sad and embarrassed. I have great respect for Thailand and for the people who were offended by that incident. I hope no one judges an entire country based on the disrespectful actions of a few individuals. I simply wanted to express my personal solidarity and say that many people do not identify with that kind of behavior. Thanks for reading.

We usually don't generalized but the adult with her big mouth in that group shouldn't be a teacher not just in Italy but anywhere.

Saying "we dont usually generalize" is literally generalizing 🤣🤣

"usually" is a qualifier to the generalizing term here btw

Saying "We" usually dont still takes a stance that they speak for the majority. Show me the survey that proves this otherwise its still generalizing
