sweeping

  • - ‹movementamplio;
  • - ‹gesturedramático, histriónico 
  • - (indiscriminate) (pej): that's rather a ~ statement, isn't it? ¿no estás generalizando demasiado? 
  • - (far-reaching) ‹reforms/changes-radical;
    powersamplio.
-  That's rather a sweeping statement. (eso es mucho decir...)
- You aren't black enough. Who goes around making such sweeping statement?” you may ask. Sadly, the answer to that is, “Many, many people. Too many in fact” (source)
