Poisonous M&Ms: The Irrational Monstrosity of Bigotry
Why is the poisonous M&Ms analogy monstrous?
Because it can be used to prop up any kind of harmful stereotype about groups such genders, ethnicities, religious and political communities without having to engage the objections to unfair generalizations. In reality, the poisonous M&Ms analogy is a more manipulative version of the general tactic known as the “I know not all X are Y, but [flawed generalization]”.
.
Here are some examples from the white supremacist website Stormfront:
So, it’s true that not all blacks are criminals, but apparently, all (or at least, most) blacks support criminal behavior.
So let me state again not all blacks are criminals but they are more prone to criminal behavior than any other race.
Others are speculating the skittle reference is a dog whistle referencing Trayvon Martin.
.
It’s clear that the Skittles reference is a nod to Trump’s white supremacist base and unquestionably, it is highly offensive to dehumanize refugees and immigrants in this manner.

Donald Trump, Jr is doubling down on his White Nationalist Tweets today!
Speechless.
Donald Trump Jr. Is Tweeting Straight- Up White Nationalist Propaganda Now
He linked to a 2015 post from Anne-Marie Waters, a British activist and member of the fervently anti-immigration UK Independence Party, which she penned for Breitbart's London offshoot.
In the post, Waters recounts being sexually harassed and intimidated by “Middle Eastern-looking men” across Europe to set the stage for her takedown of "suicidal" immigration polices that she says allow Muslim men to rape white women.
"In England, it’s been rape after rape – tens of thousands of young British girls are brutalised, tortured, beaten and raped by organised gangs comprised almost exclusively of Muslims," she wrote.
In Germany, Chancellor Angela Merkel's immigration polices "opened the door to the rape of German women," Waters wrote. She went on to claim rape, sexual assault and "forced prostitution" are "rampant within the refugee camps in Germany."
