It's not slander unless it is false, and it is not false.

And yes, the second part of your comment was what my comment was alluding to. My guess is that they will treat someone who stole billions of dollars less poorly than they do someone espousing beliefs in the biological intellectual superiority of white people over black people.

You are reading a value judgement into my comment that I never made, my comment is entirely descriptive and non-normative.
