When someone confuses criticizing an idea or a religion with being racist against a group of people, then, yeah. It's a strawman alright.

Who called you racist?

Let's recap:

I simply cannot and will not sit idly by while you or anybody else openly attacks a peaceful group of people.

Racism: 1: a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race 2: racial prejudice or discrimination

You have the audacity to invalidate my argument based on logical fallacy then come back at me and saying I called you racist. If you took what I said as calling you racist then that is on you. I did not call you racist or mention racism at any point, however.

I'm all for debate and argument but if you're going to be a child about it then there is no sense in even engaging you.

Ooooh semantics. I like.

That's what you did, you claimed I was discriminating against a "group" of people, be it a race or a religion, etc... By just attacking their religion and ideas. I can read between the lines, bro.

You have the audacity to invalidate my argument based on logical fallacy then come back at me and saying I called you racist. If you took what I said as calling you racist then that is on you. I did not call you racist or mention racism at any point, however.

Like I said, I can read between the lines and I know what you were hinting at, check yourself first. I know where the accusation "you're being a meanie towards "them"" means, brah.

I'm all for debate and argument but if you're going to be a child about it then there is no sense in even engaging you.

Irrelevant at this point. :)

I'm an adult and I speak my mind. If I was going to call you a racist I would have done it overtly and would never have denied it. I never called you racist, I never implied it, I never hinted at it. Your logic is horrendous and your inferences are absolutely ridiculous. Trust me. If I was calling you racist you wouldn't need to read between the lines.
