Pompous twat

Maybe you need to "kick" his "ass" to show him you do "exist."

As Rene Descartes said, "Quotatio ergo sum." (I use excessive quotation marks therefore I am.)

If it’s a female in a culture where they are treated badly (I don’t know if pakistan is like that or not) this could be a deadly response. Tbh, the “friend” should be tossed aside and they should find a different friend that supports them. No one should stay with bad toxic friends. Thats not a friend, thats an enemy.

"I'm not trying to hurt you" and "I'm not a racist". if somebody says one of these phrases, they are lying.

Or "I have nothing against gay people". It's the 'but' that comes right after that ruins the magic.

or "no offense" or "with all due respect."

sounds like he is in the spectrum. chances are if you have been friends a long time it is such a norm for him he doesn't understand things would change. coupled with not being able to quite understand the meaning/ consequences of his words. talk to him and get it figured out... my brother is similar

Could be a cultural thing to. Different societies have different taboos. Certain things like sugarcoating is looked down upon in society, so responses like this may be very common. Not saying it’s right, but society does dictate how conservative people handle things.

kick his as!!
