Don't be so obtuse & so literal. You know what was meant. [/quote]

Well, you literally said something racist. [/quote]

Racist Card. Crying racist over something rather than presenting a logical argument. There are terms for that, too.

I'm not white and what was said is definitely not racist. [/quote]

There is no point in talking with you.  I've already presented a logical explanation for why the statement was racist, and all you're doing is attempting to silence me by accusing me of playing the race card.

"[i]Conversations around race are often microcosmic representations of structural racism at large. Derailing tactics like the aforementioned essentially serve to divert the conversation back to territory where the derailer feels more comfortable, and perhaps most importantly, help reestablish the traditional power dynamic. Once again, a person of color must focus on and give precedence to a white person’s opinions and queries—and often, their expressions of disbelief—instead of merely being able to speak their experiences."
