    Yes, that is how hypotheticals work. It’s how we imagine things we don’t know specific details about and try and find ways to explain them.

      Hypothetically, someone that assumes a black person to be dishonest based on no evidence is a racist.

      To make this less hypothetical, are you assuming the black dude is dishonest or not? Just want to know who’s a hypothetical racist and who’s an actual racists here.

        I’m assuming the black dude is making a joke about all the hypersensitive people on the internet.

        Something you make a good example of.

        Let’s nip this in the bud here. If I like hotdogs do I automatically hate hamburgers?

        Why is it you are on such a crusade to paint someone as a racist simply for making a moderate statement? This isn’t a binary thing.

        Further what makes what you are doing morally any better than what you are assuming the gift buyers to be doing?

        You are entirely too wrapped up in this and it’s not a good look, man.
