I mean, if you say “don’t ever trust” an entire race/sex, then yeah, by definition you are racist/sexist.

What about pointing out more factually based claims such as which groups commit more crimes, etc?

I agree. The problem arises when people predominantly of a certain race or sex attempt to define the narrative around racism or sexism that affects another race or sex. It's a little difficult to find that trustworthy, in my opinion. People should be trusted to speak about data and other verifiable sources as well as their own experiences.

It's perfectly acceptable in mainstream media to say "don't ever trust men on issue of sexual assault". Most people deny that's sexist, some even say that disagreeing with this position is sexist!
