My "in general" was meant to differentiate the general discussion of werebeavers from those specifically talking about Crosby.
What does that have to do with the fact that you accused someone of "whitewashing" for not buying that there's a connection between "hockey players in general" and "victims of colonialism," as if once you specify you're not talking about Crosby, it's suddenly a thing that makes sense to say? You clearly weren't referring to or thinking about the First Nations people until someone pestered it out of you (as you pretty much admit yourself), so regardless of what conclusion you've now apparently reached, you did actually do what they accused you of, which is generalize a historically specific atrocity.
