Example 1: You may narrate personal experiences of bigotry or mistreatment, and you may name the group membership of the perpetrators. But you may NOT generalize by opining that a group shares collective guilt for members' evil acts.

Example 2: You may narrate personal experiences of compassion or wisdom, and you may name the group membership of the role models. But you may NOT generalize by opining that any group shares collective honor for members' good acts.

Example 3: You may express pride in your personal achievements. But you may NOT express pride in your membership in any U.S. "racial" or ethnic group.

Example 4: You may write: "John Smith is stupid, cruel, and bad-smelling." But you may NOT write: "It is my personal opinion, based upon my own personal experiences, that White [or Black] folks are [any adjective at all]."
