I guess it depends on how you define enemies. I think that generally an enemy is considered to be someone who is actively hostile towards you in a specific way, rather than just a general way.
If you ask someone to name three friends, they wouldn't consider all friendly people, they would consider their actual friends.
If you ask someone to name three enemies you would expect them to name specific people they actually know and have interacted with, not specific people that are known to hate their race or belief but they have had no direct interaction with.
- DoreenMichele 8y agoIn most cases, you don't actually want to publicize whom you see as personal enemies. It just makes it harder to resolve or minimize the issue while convincing a lot of people you are a paranoid fruitcake. But I imagine lots of minority members et al are keenly aware of specific people who are generally against their minority group who have caused them, personally, harm because of it. If they publicly start their view that "X person personally harmed me" it is usually unprovable and the statement just makes their own problems worse for various reasons. Thus my impression that you must have an awfully cushy life that you are projecting as the norm when there is zero reason to see it as such.
