I don't think that's generous at all. It's characterizing all white men. If I told a bad math student to think what an Asian person would do would you take the "generous interpretation" of "study more"?

Why not just say what you mean without the racial stereotypes?

Generous as in assuming the most graceful interpretation. Not intending to bucket people.

Claiming that "What would a white man do?" Is not intending to bucket people has moved beyond "interpretation" and into gaslighting. The entirety of the advice is bucketing people.

"Graceful interpretation" does not mean that you ignore the advice and substitute for it what would have been good advice.

> her advice to her mentee was "Think about what a white man would do" and everyone applaud such an insightful advice.

Nothing is going to win cheap applause at a diversity panel than saying "white man bad".
