being "one of the good ones"

weather: ☀️ kinda breezy critters: monarchs i can own up to being a complete stereotype in some ways, and along a couple of particular axes i am never accused of being "one of the good ones." but i am many things, and sometimes i get to hear that phrase and its variants about certain demographics and personality traits and such. is it because i don't fit a stereotype for those qualities, so i'm automatically an outlier? or is it because i do fit a stereotype, and i get a carveout because the speaker realized as the words left their mouth that their blanket statement was kinda hurtful? i don't have a point to make about this. "one of the good geminis" made me laugh, at least.
