You have to resort to using analogies when the actual sentence in question transfers very well in my examples?

I'm making extreme examples out of the sentence, but putting something 'awesome' with it. Being good at math / Fast runners etc - to make the point very concise and on point.

Had i run with the theme and went "White people who shoots up schools [...]" or "Black people who sell crack cocaine" you would have likely missed the point entirely because I'm using negative-stereotypes.

That the child-comment elaborates his thoughts into racist ramblings is frankly irrelevant to me. The guy is clearly both illiterate, insensitive and likely in the silly end of the bell curve.

It should not be. We need to call these people out and put a stop to such behaviour.

Coming to your comments; "positive stereotypes" just earn a gentle laugh while "negative stereotypes" lead to racist behaviour with a disproportionate impact on the real world. They are not the same.

>It shouldn't be irrelevant

Yes, because whether he is a racist or not is not relevant to the point i was making.

> We [...]

We, do not need to do anything. But go ahead, engage him, feed him with the social interaction the rest of us deprive him of - because he is a shitty person.

Waste your time all you want.

Predictable that you are missing the point entirely. Please reread the exchange, one line at a time. Else you might think and label me as a racist because you have put up a communication barrier and absolutely refuse to understand my original point.

Your words;

>the absolute-plague-tier of disproportional scammers coming out of India

Dressing up your words cannot hide the insinuations.
