My summary of the most recent comments in this thread:
Dirlewanger: group X have property Y
arandr0x: members of group X without property Y might be offended by "group X have property Y"
courir: as a member of group X without property Y I'm not offended by "most members of group X have property Y"
arandr0x: <a reiteration of the previous comment>
ramblerman: <rhetorically> does saying a member of group X has property Y mean all members of group X have property Y?
I think you (ramblerman) have logically inverted the main claim, which is why it doesn't seem to make sense. Behaviour in line with arandr0x' comment seems perfectly reasonable to me - few people take well to poorly fitting generalisations.
