What exactly did you mean in one of your previous posts when you said: "what some friends of yours are like?" I might be incorrect in my assumption, but, that doesn't pass the smell test.
I mean that wouldn't be something like when a homophobe refers to gay couples as to how gay people are like, or, when a racist refers to minorities as to how minorities are like would it? Maybe I am incorrect, but, that comment sure doesn't look good - it appears to be bigoted.
Just asking so I'll know what type of person I am responding to. Thanks.
