The problem is that as far as I can see Kal's argument amounts to one of these:

1. If a member of a minority group regards a statement like Corbyn's as racist, they are automatically right; it is impossible for them to misinterpret the statement (because the intentions of the author are irrelevant, only the feelings of a group member).

OR

2. It is possible for minority groups to misinterpret statements like Corbyn's, but it is "incredibly damaging and problematic" to ever point it out.

... and I just don't agree with either of them.
