"This is my point though...."when he was generally accusing a non-specific group of people of racism,"..why doesn't that non-specific group matter in the context of any of this?"
That's not what I was saying. I was saying I was starting with an example where who he was referring to was concrete and specific, as the base case of essentially an inductive proof-type argument, and you misread which of his messages I was pointing at. It does matter later, but we haven't gotten there yet bc we're still stuck here
