Like I said, it's a terrible metaphor in most ways, and it only came to mind because she specifically used "black" stereotypes as an example in the first place. I wouldn't use it to back up any other point and I've seriously considered editing it out.

Comparing Derpy to Snips and Snails is a completely different topic. The gist of my answer would be that Snips or Snails (the example I usually hear is Patrick Star) act more like fools, in the classic tradition, than someone with an actual mental disability, but this is actually the first time I've heard anyone say sexism was involved.
