Generalisations

"Typically, English cuisine is poor," a student informed me. "I completely disagree that Ukrainian food is unhealthy," chipped in a second. "Yes, Ukrainian drivers drive too quickly and ignore pe-des-tri-an crossings," said another. "Why is that?" I asked. "Because in Ukraine you can pay money and get your licence." "How much money?" "Two hundred dollars," the whole class said as one.
