„you are [insert bad person here]”
„why would you think that?”
„he speaks chinese. you speak chinese. he happens to be an asshole. you speak Chinese just like him, so therefore you are probably an asshole like him.”
False syllogism (you’re Chinese, so you’re an asshole) or premature generalization (some Chinese people are assholes, therefore all Chinese people are assholes).
Sounds like racist asshole logic. It’s not worth trying to communicate with them.
I’m a white guy that’s essentially fluent in Spanish and live where a lot of people speak Spanish. Not once in 10 years have I heard someone talking shit and trust that I’d be an easy target.
I really hate when people get shitty because they don’t understand what others in the vicinity are saying. People should get a life.
In addition to the others this is also an association fallacy.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_fallacy
For example, a fallacious arguer may claim that “bears are animals, and bears are dangerous; therefore your dog, which is also an animal, must be dangerous.”
Dogs are dangerous though, that’s the thing. Cuteness overload is a real and serious condition! It’s the silent killer.
False equivalence, I’d say.
If A is the set containing c and d, and B is the set containing d and e, then since they both contain d, A and B are equal.

I’ve never seen two commas before a statement and I’m confused from the get go

Even within a single language, you can have several different options like these
“curly double quotes” look like 66 and 99, so they are asymmetric.
“vertical double quotes” are identical.
‘curly single quotes’ are asymmetric.
‘vertical single quotes’ are identical.
