        We do need a word for these kinda comments. People who are so dull, boring and insignificant that they spend their entire time online attempting to be offended at literally fucking everything and everyone

          I don’t think that’s what’s happening here and I don’t know of anyone who does that. Words do offend people, that is not something you have to try hard to do.

          I’m not a native English speaker and I don’t see how this could be offending. Or maybe this is some US thing?

          Just come out as a pedophile, it’s a more productive use of your time and accomplishes the same thing.

          It’s a question about languages and you’re erroneously conflating that with race. Homie, this is not the hill for you to die on; and if you ever condescend to me like that again, we’re gonna start having problems. Wanna sit there and talk about “siding with the racists” and then play paternalist at the tail end of your fuckoff statement, fuck is wrong with you?

            Step back and look at the situation from the third person and ask yourself if you like what you see.

              So reality checking you didn’t work; I’ll tell it to you straight: log off for a week.

              Your conflation is flatly wrong. Language and race do are not some linked quantity. There is no gene preventing a white man from speaking Swahili, or a Black woman from speaking German, Dutch, Russian, and Gaelic.

              Were I to allow that erroneous conflation to slide, I’d be committing a type of liberalism as we (unfortunately, as of right now) share a community. Your not even considering self-crit when it’s made as clear as I possibly Can make it that you’ve got the wrong end of the hook here is another. Log out, touch grass, do better; otherwise don’t darken my inbox again. I know what ‘verbally looking for a fight’ looks like; and you’re doing it right now. Chill the fuck out and log off.

                Believe me i’ve already logged off. If this shit happened in an org I would have resigned out of disgust.

                EDIT: “don’t darken my inbox again” 🤨 Is that really the kind of language you want to be using in this conversation? I think you have your own soul searching to be doing, if this ‘log off’ rant is any indication to be going off of, you probably do, because this the kind of thing that’s indistinguishable from twitter fascists who think they’re leftists yet spend more energy attacking the left than they do the right. Talks the big talk but routinely side with nazis whenever push comes to shove.

                  Oh, it is; I’ve told you twice now to quit fuckin condescending to me and tryna cracker-talk your way out of being explicitly wrong. You don’t listen; ergo, I don’t want you even THINKING about continuing to talk to me. I genuinely don’t have time for those who act like settlers and can’t accept their own errors. If I wanted to get really uncharitable, I’d start listing off every single itemized thing I find wrong about you; but I’ll leave it at don’t you ever think to reply to my shit again if you won’t get right.

                    How did this escalate to tone policing and fascist-jacketing? smdh
