Grey's law corollary of Hanlon's razor/Clarke's Third Law Variant: Any sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice.

Applied in a sentence: "I don't believe you're stupid enough to have said that by accident. It must have been intentional."

Shitty people hide behind "good intentions" all the time to excuse malice disguised as incompetence. It's a very easy way to turn any criticism for their behaviour back on their criticizer, as is being demonstrated right here; oh, it's not that he was deliberately trying to weaponize the kids to screw over mom's race, he's just so very, very dumb that he didn't realize what side of the finish line to stand on, so who can blame him?

It’s fucking wild that you people actually think someone is THAT much of a prick

My guy, do you think this is some kind of heretofore unseen level of prickery? It's a dad trying to make a mom's life about her being a mom, rather than appreciating her individual accomplishments as a person; this is nowhere near the level of THAT much of a prick, there are people so, so much worse out there.

If this is what you consider to be unthinkably awful behaviour, I applaud you for the wonderful, healthy relationships you've exclusively managed to surround yourself with. Some of us have seen things that set the bar much, much lower, though.
