> That you expect other people to accept these conclusions simply because you claim to have had certain observations (not even presenting what those observations are), without qualification, is astounding. Pot, kettle, black. Or, if you prefer, double standards much? > On the other hand, people are presenting claims of taking offense at certain statements. You're not paying attention. They claimed to be offended because the statements were supposedly offensive to other people. While they're entitled to be offended by anything they please, surely it's relevant whether said other people are actually offended by said statements. >> Why is it so important to you to defend "anti-racists"? > Because I have been a victim of racism. How, exactly, has someone saying "that's offensive to others" helped you? If that whinge hasn't helped you, why is defending such people important to you? Note the specificity. I'm not asking about other people who helped you.
