    Would he have mentioned a beeper if the recipient was a white Christian?

    Ofcourse not, but I don’t see how that implies racism.

      Ah, so if I go around saying that Japanese people ‘smell of raw fish BECAUSE they are Japanese AND eat dirty raw fish’, I am not being racist, even though I wouldn’t say that to a white person.

      How ‘contrarian’ of you, as in ‘contrary to not being ridiculous’.
