Going to the countryside - if you can't see this as an out and out strawman then there's little I can realistically do to help.

One could accuse nearly everyone for putting up a straw man, including you:

I've explained that it's not binary and you would have to examine the context. For example, if a record producer sang it the singer to emphasise a different way of singing a verse, then that would not be offensive. However, if a known white racist sang it then that would likely be offensive. It's about empathy and putting yourself in another's shoes - not looking for a binary answer to nuanced issues.

There's no difference between "for example" and "straw man" when arguing.
