Let's say there's a very racist Englishman who mocks Indians for shitting on the street. Then, said Englishman shits his pants and throws said enshitted pants out his window onto the street. Is that considered ironic?

Moronic. And did you need new trousers advice or what are you asking here?

Erik’s poopoo disaster has reanimated this board. His actions are both ironic and hypocritical. A civilized man would have bagged the mess and thrown it in a trash can.

No, that would an example of a pot calling the kettle a smelly nigger.
Also it would depend on where the Englishman's pants were beshat. If he shat his pants on the street then that would be hypocrisy, but if the enshittification occurred in his lavatory then it could be argued that the befoulmemt of his pants was an accident; he was no longer in need of such ruined garments, and was merely distributing them to the poor Indians on the street below who could not afford a pair of their own in which to shit.
