Some positions are outside the realm of legitimate debate. Ridicule is an appropriate response to ridiculous positions.

Calling an event that is trying to integrate a community "segregationist" is about as ridiculous as it gets.

Fully agree. By the way, feel free to spread the word about my forthcoming event trying to bring together the 20-35yo, white male, Ivy league graduate, $150K+/year community. I'm sure I can count on your support for this integration effort.

the funny thing is that you see nothing ridiculous about trying to use this as a hypothetical counterpoint.

If it were a real integration effort, sure. Imagine you are trying to get that group into a segment of society they have been traditionally excluded from. Only then would that parallel make sense.

I am having a hard time picturing exactly what that could be. Law enforcement, maybe? Romance literature?
