You are making Steve responsible for your own emotional reaction, which isn't cool. You're effectively arguing that satire, frustration or sarcasm are inappropriate responses to the discussion of tragedy or politically-charged events, which is a great way to ensure that nobody engages you in discussion. Your entire response is couched in "I think that" and "I feel like" without acknowledging that your interpretation of Steve's response is one of many possible justifications. In other words, it's clear that this is a fight you want to have and Steve is just the unfortunate bystander whose time has come up.
