So a reasonable response could certainly have been "I don't think my take on this particular issue that I'm using as an example has any bearing on the greater point." I think several folks would disagree. What's more, it may be reasonable in discovering what your position is on these ethnic predictors, to see their effect on you. You seem rather worked up about the whole thing, so that could be part of the issue. Instead of popping a capillary in your temple, why don't you take a breath and actually think about what's being asked and said? You may find your frustration has been both poorly aimed, and easily earned.
P.S. You definitely earn that thread purity champion medal fresh every day. You're the Usain Bolt of Thread Purity.
