Funny. Against any other demographic this would be seen as an ageist, racist, and sexist comment. Do you feel good about it?

    And you, sir, are becoming the problem you're complaining about. Don't kid yourself that it's fine for you to do because of the targets you're choosing.

      It is far from being a level playing field. The message varies greatly depending on the sender, receiver and context, right? I think it's quite OK to call out your fellow stereotype when they're being dicks. And while we're at it, since this thread is going down into "this is reverse racism": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dw_mRaIHb-M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dw_mRaIHb-M

Call out your fellow [members of a group that contains you] when they're being dicks, sure. We need that. But don't stereotype them to do it - we don't need that.

    Justice would be 'punching wrong' regardless of up or down.
