Pouncing on newbies, school bashing, grammar police, racism, intolerance.
The difference would be that the newbie in question here, debrah.h48, is a certified forum spammer. Many of these forum spammers use free yahoo or gmail accounts, so it shouldn't take you too long to find it.
It's the poster's obnoxious conduct (i.e., spamming) that is being criticised, not the school, race or grammar of the poster. This would be in stark distinction to, say, Janko and DesElms gratuitously ridiculing Lerner over his broken English. I don't see anything racist about spammer bashing.
Unfortunately no one ethnic group has a monopoly on these spamming assholes. Noticing and commenting on a commonality between the spammer and the subject of the spam seems like simply stating the obvious.
It's like those tests they give little kids in pre-school: big square, medium square, little square, circle, which one doesn't fit? Any kid who doesn't come up with "circle" is labeled retard and rides the little yellow bus. If you don't notice Indian spammer and Indian uni pres you might want to check for remedial resources.
