Why do some people get butthurt over mixed huskies being called huskies?

My husky is 86% Siberian Husky, 14% German Shepherd. I was walking her earlier when a person stopped me to ask me what kind of dog she is and I said Siberian Husky.

They laughed and said "No she's obviously not purebred so don't call her that. It's misleading."

Are you guys okay? Is it a superiority complex thing? Do you automatically view purebreds as better?
