why wasn't everyone's first question, "But what was the context of that sentence?" Why, because Someone had already declared that sentence Terribad, of course, and therefore nobody else is allowed to read the book and make their own determination about it. Because once something is declared -ist, anyone trying to have a rational discussion about it is a horrible person.
As recessional already said, bless you for trying to teach people to use their critical thinking skills. People like you give me hope.
