Isn't this the same as...
Nutpicking? — Carpetsmoker (talk) 13:02, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
 * As I've understood it, the nutpicking is what otherwise called the Weak-Man Fallacy (Talisse & Aikin, 2011), namely picking out from a set the weakest proponent, or the weakest argument that is then taken as representative. The chinese robber fallacy is about highlighting statistical occurences of some generic problem whithin a set, e.g. criminal chinese. I see where you are coming from, but in the chinese robber case, every set has a similar kind of "nuts" (criminals, misogynists, sexist, robbers, people who lie), they are just highlighted by detractors in order to make it seem this was more typical in the other set than everywhere else; whereas the nutpicking is about presenting specific content that is unique to the discussed set.

 * I think it might deserve a crosslinked "See Also" in that case, as they're related in that way (not to mention it'll take off the orphaned page status this currently has as well). I'll go ahead and pop one in here, and another down in Nutpicking. ℕoir LeSable (talk) 19:24, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
