Anon is often depressed.
Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

If it were actually a true story, maybe autistic OP thought he was returning the joke in kind. "Lol shouldn't you be starving because the British stole all your crops but potatoes", "lol shouldn't you be bombing hospitals". Seems like a fair trade if you don't understand what was intended. Signed: an autist.

My son has challenges, and I understand the story in context.

My point is the group at the table would likely not have responded in whole that way.
