These are some extremely racist tropes you're parroting.
I respectfully but firmly disagree regarding three words used here: racist, tropes, parroting. I would have been willing to clarify and defend why (and why I can partially do so from lived-experience), while also empathising about how one part of what I wrote might be possible to misinterpret without that clarification. The comment has since been removed though, so it wouldn't be productive now. I still feel it important to say that a now-invisible comment of mine being called out as something is in my opinion not that thing (so readers don't just assume it was without hesitation), while respecting your right to claim as such, especially before seeing any followup clarifications.
Have you considered taking a communications course so you don't sound like a pretentious, obfuscating jackass?
Eschew gratuitous obfuscation. (See what I mean?)
