The people who are offended are not even the person he was talking about. It was a very innocent tweet. Is it better that everyone is ultra-careful about what they say, just because they may offend someone? It was really Martin's problem that some people were bothered by it?

i just think this is a horrible thread.

well its easy to miss the "good ol days" when youre a white middle aged man though ;) horrible stuff when you actually have to have some consideration for others

By the way, my post in this thread was just about the tweet and people being upset about the tweet. I didn't actually read the original post.

I will say that posts like this make me uncomfortable though.



It seems counterproductive to refer to someone's race or sex as a way to define them, their feelings, or their actions. It's also lazy. Is it just because he's a white male that he feels that way? Or is it something else? I am sure there are many white males who don't think like him. So why just point out his race or sex and just say that's why he feels that way?

bc someone who is opposed to the idea of PC,and is male and is white,it is most likely...because its a male who is white.
whyyyy? probably because they dont have to deal with the issues why PC is requiered.

oh none,sexism and rascism dont exist at all.

It's a privilege thing, really. The implied reason why white males would want things to go back to the "good old days" is to reclaim the sort of power and status that they feel has been lost because they've had to accommodate people who are different to them (non-white, non-male, etc.).

Only white men are racist and sexist? What world are you living in?

Must be bedtime; I don't even understand the last two posts.

I was saying that some non-whites are racist, and some women are sexist as well but the only people that seem to get personally offended in my experience are white men who are effected by neither. This thread has became more horrible though (somehow) and it was mainly my fault so sorry, haha.
