If you call someone an idiot because of the dialect they speak or the accent they have, that is a pretty canonical example of bigotry. Saying he's stupid because of his views or something else is generally a defensible thing to do, but making derogatory statement because of an accent like saying "I would not trust the opinion of a stupid Jew" or "what a gay idiot", which people generally don't like here.
Surely there are people who use b3ta and who speak like this guy.
I don't know how calling someone an idiot is lighthearted anyway...
