But that hasn't happened so your question is utterly bizarre! "Aha but if their skin peeled off revealing a scaly hide and tail, might you not then agree that they be lizard folk?"

If there is an agenda it would not be so unreasonable to suggest that the fact that it was A boy and not a girl at the centre of her grievance may have had something to do with her OTT reaction. If so that would be sexist.

Guesswork. Not even a guess with anythibg at all behind it to make it a reasonable one... It is a straight up guess pure and simple. You have absolutely no idea whether or not the reaction would have been the same had it been a girl rather than a boy. In the absense of such evidence it's only reasonable to assume that her reaction would have been exactly the same.

Btw this may potentially have something to do with culture, but where does race come into it. Race and culture are not mutually exclusive. It just sounds like another excuse to undermine my opinions by calling me racist. Bored with it now.

Because you have no idea what their culture is. You have assumed that you do based on the name of the mother and the colour of the boy in the pictures skin. There is not one further word about their religion, culture, country of origin, how many generations in the country. Nothing. At all. There's the story, a name and a picture and you have made all sorts of guesses and assumptions based on those three details. And now YOU are saying that religion and culture has nothing to do with race. Correct! That is what everyone else is telling g you! You are the one assuming that you know about their culture, and their motivations, and their likelihood of being sexist, based on nothing but their race! That is racial prejudice. Pure and simple.
