Tracking the ever-elusive Great American Novel

<< And those words were? We still don't know, because the report we got  was 
that Toni Morrison (an African American women) complained that the Venus de 
Milo was a misogynist work while labouring under the mistaken  belief that it 
was created without arms. You found it "a funny story"  >>

If it's true, and I have no idea regarding its truth, it is a funny story 
about Toni Morrision.  But not therefore about African American Woman.  Isn't 
equating one with the other -- individual with group -- a little ... racist?  
Sexist?
