Yup.
If someone got you a bottle of liquor you probably have drank with them or spoken about it... it's not difficult to assume someone said oh he likes this lets get it for him. Further this is a pretty common brand and has a good chance of getting picked in general.
The speed at which people assume the worst and get offended recently needs to get dialed back... a lot. If I wanted to slight a dude I wouldn't spend money to do it.
Your entire argument depends on the fact that this dude Hennessy with his co-workers or talked about.
A fact which (as far as I can tell) you just made up.
Yes, that is how hypotheticals work. It's how we imagine things we don't know specific details about and try and find ways to explain them.
Hypothetically, someone that assumes a black person to be dishonest based on no evidence is a racist.
To make this less hypothetical, are you assuming the black dude is dishonest or not? Just want to know who's a hypothetical racist and who's an actual racists here.
Let's nip this in the bud here. If I like hotdogs do I automatically hate hamburgers?
Why is it you are on such a crusade to paint someone as a racist simply for making a moderate statement? This isn't a binary thing.
Further what makes what you are doing morally any better than what you are assuming the gift buyers to be doing?
You are entirely too wrapped up in this and it's not a good look, man.
I'm assuming the black dude is making a joke about all the hypersensitive people on the internet.
Something you make a good example of.
