Bigot? That's your first post? Bigot?
I can see being a tad confused at Troup's first blush (he's complex), and while not seeing explicit irony of his statement in simple context of the thread, it may be kind of forgivable but as a kneejerk reaction to tar and feather a stranger?

Let me explain this to you:
"Gee, if taxes spike next year, there will be overextended people in some expensive houses. Who? by contemporary narrative, will be in a good position to pick up a bargain on an upper middle class house in a good school district? Other similarly extended standard middle class stereotypes? Or maybe a rising middle class more generally identified as minority and in Dallas particular, a growth demographic of blacks?"

It was intended as a projected irony.
And if you weren't so danged hair-trigger reactionary, you would have shared the implicit schadenfreude of the assumed racist neighborhood (which I personally would have taken as offense - but it's globally accepted to pulverize people not 100% in concordance with minority leaders as racists rather than having genuine intellectual differences... but I digress - and their sooner acceptance through genuine societal evolution rather than social policy and directives.

See? A joke fully explained just isn't as funny.
