The part of the conversation you consider to be relevant is also an opinion.

Other than stating the events that occurred, correct. I wasn't claiming it was not an opinion. I was just pointing out that your opinions on those things being racist or representing racist ideals are just opinions and that the student, and others, can have different ones based on their lived experiences.

Sounds like you are stereotyping which is just another nice word for racist.

How am I stereotyping? And no, it isn't. But I'd like to see how wrong you are before explaining the difference.
