I would definitely agree with the statement "Many subgroups within American culture have largely bought into destructive ideologies, which need to be confronted and dealt with." That is, I would say "A large portion of the black community is in the grip of a destructive victim ideology", but NOT say that "blacks as a group are less rational and open-minded than other ethnic minorities."
