As you noted, Aaron is assuming that the only qualifier is "white male." But
not all racists are white males, and not all white males are racist. I'm sure
Aaron knows this.

Further, Aaron assumes that everyone who meets the criteria of a statistic is
whatever that statistic is measuring. I know Aaron has trouble with math and
probabilities, but that's pretty freaking stupid, man.

Aaron is a racist because he's racist and says racist things.

Jeff.
