Turn the Question Around

Turn the question around: ask them if they would rather be stuck in a forest with a black man or a lion. Ask them if they'd rather be stuck with a muslim or a tiger. See them shift their stance into a "we shouldn't generalize like that" one.

A screenshot of a social media post suggests reversing a question about whether someone would rather be stranded with a Black man or a lion, then with a Muslim or a tiger. The joke is that the person will suddenly object to generalizations when the comparison targets groups they may sympathize with, exposing a perceived double standard.
