I wasn't being racist and the claim that I was is a strawman. It's an attempt to make me back away from my sytatement by putting a claim of racism where it doesn't belong.
Its not a strawman because you weren't making an argument. You rendered an opinion. I then argued that your opinion is effectively a racist one.
