"Taking a statement out of context."
The context was the robbery that occurred, and blue-hair as an identifier for the robber.
Now if in this hypothetical, blue-hair was a slur, Bob ~~Mike~~ is not doing himself any favors.

Yes, I was doing more explaining in other comments but this seems like a good summary. But I'd also add, the "Mike" could work off of more than just individual low-context statements to make a particular group feel attacked. They could, for instance, invent context to other, wordless actions.
