Reply #89: here is what is illogical

[Two Americas]

It is illogical to say that because the insult could be generic, that therefore it is not legitimate for anyone to suggest that it promotes bigotry.

It may not promote bigotry, but it us not logical to say that because it could be a generic insult, therefore it cannot promote bigotry.

Classic case of a logical fallacy.

It is also illogical to say that because the speaker claims he did not intend to insult the readers, therefore he didn't insult the readers.

But what is it about this that is motivating people to so vigorously defend it, and deny the comments I and others have made? Odd thing to get so worked up about.
