Voicing limited and qualified agreement with a bigoted stereotype

That’s the wrong experiment. This is what the OP was talking about:

A - No surprise there, we all know The Jews run Hollywood.

B - Stop repeating that bigoted stereotype!

C - Hold on a second there, B. Jewish people are (statistically) over-represented in Hollywood relative to the overall population.

Thanks to C, we’re now going to focus on historical statistical minutia instead of A’s bigoted stereotype.

This is exactly what’s going on in the National Guard vis a vis law enforcement thread. We get a discussion about how many NG troops are MPs who are “trained police” instead of the fact our president is sending the military into a city via a (literal) trumped up emergency.
