I tried again and they're there. Huh.
Anyway, I honestly think they have a point. Talking about the issue with Texan schools is not the same as "stereotyping" Texas.
No, but stereotyping Texans is still something that happens?
Like, I'm pretty sure I'm not the only person who has seen knuckle-dragging redneck stereotypes being brought up every time something like this happens in the South. Which is kind of fucked up.
I don't know what Stephen Amell was responding to, but at least taken as a bare statement, he was absolutely right. Stereotyping people over their race is bad. Stereotyping people over where they live is also bad, and some people do the latter in response to the former, pretending it's somehow not bullshit when they do it.
And bringing up whether Texans are oppressed or not seemed kind of a red herring. Two things can be bad even if one is worse than the other.
(EDIT: not that you said anything about that, I'm thinking of some of the tweets in that article)
