That is generally what's expected when someone asks for clarifying a vague term like "They," so yes.

So you may not know this but if someone tells you a racist joke that may be offensive, the best way to address the situation is it ask them to explain the joke thereby making them realize how racist the joke is. So kind of the same thing. If I need to explain who the "they" maybe you should keep scanning reddit.

So you're being racist?

So you may not know this but when someone makes a claim and someone else asks for proof or clarification, the onus of responsibility is generally considered to be on the person making the claim, as there's no reason to believe said claim without evidence, and saying stupid shit like "look it up yourself" just tells the world that you're talking out of your ass.
