A convenient criticism made based on non-inclusiveness is the allegation of personal attack.
A personal attack occurs when a person is ridiculed for his physical features or other characteristics that have no connection to the disputed issues.
An example of a personal attack is: Ed Chin has triangular eyes and a mouth and jaw line shaped like a toad. Therefore, he is not to be trusted according to Chinese face-reading theories.
Criticising what Ed Chin does in public from information that he freely disseminates is fair comment based on an objective observation of facts. That is not a personal attack.
