It really depends on the group, its size, and how one becomes a member.
I won't judge a race or a religion based on extremists. It's too large of a group, and membership is too arbitrary - you're more or less born into it.
But say, white supremacists? Sure, even the non-violent ones. The ideology itself is dangerous, and their "extremists" are critical in the overall strategy.

@QuixoticSoul white supremacists might be a bad example, because there's no shortage of visible white people who condemn them

@ImperialAerosolKidFromEP I'm not sure how your point relates to the original question and my answer to it. Can you explain further?

@QuixoticSoul I had the idea you were saying white supremacists were extremists. I was saying that a lot of white people do their best to disavow those members

@ImperialAerosolKidFromEP I wasn't talking about white people as a whole. Just the white supremacists as a group. I guess maybe it makes sense to describe all of them as extremists though, not just the especially violent groups.
