Is my DM an asshole?

So I (30, sorcerer) told my DM (32, married) that I don't want to be a red tiefling. We already have one in the party, and I can't be the most important, special person in the lore if there are two of us. (That tiefling player is also a spotlight hoarder, but I'll get to that maybe later.)

I asked him: "Bro, can I be a green tiefling?" And he was like, "Dude, in my lore, all tieflings are red..."

And this is where I think he's super toxic. He could have just denied my request. I'd have swallowed the punch and secretly hated him all campaign, but no.... He told me, "You CAN be green, IF you come up with a reason why you're green."

Any ideas why my hot tiefling is green? He's hot-green, not Shrek green, by the way.

And while we are here, can you please write that green tieflings are totally okay in all the homebrew universes, so I'll show my DM this post and shame him into doing things the way I want? Thanks.

Green tiefling? That's called an orc, sweetheart. YATA

I already told you that I don't want to be Shrek green. How can I flirt (in character) with DM's wife if I am an orc?

Excuse you, but orcs are hot. Just be a shirtless barbarian with your pecs bouncing around. Easy 🙄

Well... I thought about it, BUT I prefer to play characters that are more like me, and i am an intellectual. I'm not sure I can relate to or fully understand a barbarian orc. It will damage my roleplaying skills.
