Phobias and Debates

It is difficult to argue, I say it seriously. Many times I find myself unable to rebut something someone because either I am wrong or I am dumb, and no way for me to tell which. However I have found out a way to trump over all the arguments. The way to put down your opponent is to accuse him of being X-phobic, where X can be anything as long as it fulfils following conditions1) It is in minority
2) It occupies the lower rung of society.
3) Historically it has got the short end of the stick.

Now in my case it is a little difficult.
First I belong to upper caste (one of the infamous one in fact).
Second I am from middle class so I occupy the middle rung (If truth be told then at my present salary I may be somewhere around the upper middle class, but I never feel it)
Third I am a Hindi speaker, so it makes me automatically imperialist.

However not everything is lost, I have two (dis) advantages.
First being a south paw I have been the subject of many curious and sometimes uncomplimentary inquiries and stares (I won’t mention the first question I was asked in Hostel). But at any rate I can brand anyone as laevo – phobic to gain swift victory.
Second is my complexion. By virtue of it I can use the weapon of “melanin-phobia”.

Yes it may seem a bit silly, but I stress that stupidity of common man can not be over emphasized. Manipulation always wins over truth in long run.
