   Yes. It's useless when people that are not affected get offended about something even when people that maybe should be offenced don't. I think it shows a patronizing attitude which is a real offence and not just some cultural quirk.

    This is why I don't donate. Charities usually don't publish exact reports what's the money is used on and what have they achieved. Building schools doesn't help if you don't hire teachers and get kids attend school and money used on clever
