Let's make some substitutions.

If the girl in your story was hispanic, would it be OK for you to generalize against that "all those damn Mexicunts*"?

If the girl in your story was from Boston, would we then have no problems with you rallying against the infernal "Masssachusluts*"?

etc etc

Projecting experiences with an individual (or even a group of individuals) to the entire population of a group, and presenting it as a viable stereo type is a slippery slope.

*(Disclaimer: as far as I know I made both of those up for the purpose of illustration. Both are obviously offensive, that's the point. Although that doesn't keep me from continuing to chuckle to myself at the sheer unweildy ridiculousness of Massachusluts. hehehehe)
