“I don’t hate group ABC. I just hate group XYZ that happens to be almost solely composed of members of ABC.”

Next you will be arguing why hating blues, jazz and rap with every fibre of your being isn’t racist.

And to further show why your analogy doesn’t work:

P(Person being white | Person being male) = P(Person being white).

Being white and being male is unrelated and separate (<=> statistically independent), unlike being a furry and being queer which is actually related as mentioned earlier.
