Not All (X) Are Like That - NAXALT
The mistaken belief that because you can name someone who is "not like that", it nullifies the fact that the majority is in fact, like that.

"Jenny hit me with that NAXALT when I was talking about federally recorded violent crime statistics for immigrants in comparison to those of non immigrants and is adamant that because she knows immigrants who aren't committing violent crimes that ALL immigrants must not be committing any violent crimes."

NAXALT (not all x are like that) is a common debate tactic deployed by egalitarians when group differences are mentioned. When mentioning an average group difference the anti-racist will state "but they don't all do that" or some variation. This was never implied and thus it is a straw man argument.
