How is that a bad comment? I'm serious. The way a person naturally talks is ok and is never contempt. SBF says yup instead of yes. I usually say yeah. That's just how people talk.

It's a bad comment because it was a generic tangent that was very likely to lead (and indeed already did lead, a bit) to a flamewar about race.

Haha how is it absurd? It's the way he talks. The way someone talks isn't contempt.

It is if the reason they talk that way is contempt.

It is not if its not.
