Allow me to define irony for you fellow, there’s verbal irony, dramatic irony, and situational irony which is the one you speak of. That’s the inequality of the actual sequence of events when compared to the “normal” or expected sequence of events. So when you say that him calling people with correct grammar racist, it is ironic, but not necessarily acceptable. In the same way, me spamming the n-word in the RMB would be ironic because I’m not really to type of person who would do that. Me flying like Superman would also be situationally ironic because people can’t do that, but that doesn’t mean it wouldn’t be cool or interesting. So, you see, ‘ironic’ is actually quite a very vague or general adjective, but is still often misused.
