I mean, ideally Bob and the others could engage without insulting at all, but I understand that might be a bit much to ask.
A black person is born black. A 'gammon' is not born red.

You can make a perfectly good point about how belittling someone's physical appearance that they cannot help just undermines an argument. That's reasonable, but calling it racist is silly.
