I am confused why you see that as a riddle.

Group X does action A_x due to belief B_x. That B_x isn't logical or whatever doesn't matter. Members of group X generally don't know that group X is wrong, and instead think their own biases are common sense etc.

People are not perfectly rational spheres in a vacuum.

That you can substitute in a lot of different values for X, doesn't change any of this.



Nothing they commented mentions any of the processes you did. A statement in which people need to figure out the specifics in order to make an interpretation is generally thought of as a riddle.
