You can make the same point by saying "The same reason why (liberals/atheists/whatever) will never mock Islam." without making the post directly referencing someone else. That is what we mean by personal.
I've chosen to use this as an example and a teachable moment for everyone else rather than banning. Use the warning wisely.
As a teachable moment, your coaching changes only his verbiage not his intent. If the intent is the same, is it any different or better? No. To state the obvious, if the intent is the same then the intent is the same. He could make his point without "your kind" or the use of stereotypes as a substitute for "your kind" which doesn't change his intent.
