It is good. They are just butthurt that they can't spew offensive shit in public. Then they try to say that OTHERS are the intolerant ones lol. Refusing to tolerate intolerance doesn't make you intolerant.

What about when treating someone with respect requires you to call them xer and xim? Or it means you can't wear cornrows if you are white? How about when wearing a hat makes you a Nazi?

Debatable. Extremes on either end are rarely good. Social progress is good and a result of that brings an understanding of treating people better.

CiIantro posted...

Yes that's the definition of intolerance. You feel you're superior and better and thus able to treat them like lesser human beings.

Tolerance is raising the bar, not lowering it to their standards. Insulting them will only make them dig in, then you end up with Donald Trump as president.

against PC until called a bigot when caught in the very act. then it's "hey! don't say that! it's hurtful even though I clearly just said something bigoted!"

I don't seriously consider the feelings of those who feel more entitled to being humanized than the next person.

With respect, that only makes it all the more ridiculous.

Ignren. Ngiern. Regnig. All non-offensive words to say, yet containing all the ingredients of the N-word. Is it offensive? No. The N-word. We all know what that means. Is it offensive? No.

Making the use of the N-word an entrance fee for being a person who believes POC are lower beings than them is ridiculous to me. Is it offensive? Yes. The requirement for something being offensive is for someone to be offended by it. That doesnt mean it is healthy for it to be like that or whether we shouldnt relinquish the power we give to the N-word.

Are we gonna pretend words aren't all collections of symbols that, on their own, are meaningless? I feel like as a species we've long accepted the idea that putting letters in different orders makes them mean different things.

It seems hes drawn the conclusion that they are at least on the same page. Kind of offensive to the conservatives who are POC tbh.

I don't think it is. There needs to be a balance.

You got one side thinking that a white person being in front of a line is not PC, while the other thinks stalking and scaring a woman is fine because it's "not that pc nonsense".

You do know that most of the people Antifa have actually attacked haven't spouted racist shit, right?

They've attacked THEIR OWN MEMBERS on multiple occasions, and one even stabbed a police horse.
