    Uh you make a great argument. There could be something defensive behind my call to "lets ALL stop making jokes".

    More than that, you made me think - if allowing a for a push-back reaction is necessary for society to work this issue, then that's a small price to pay.

    I'll concede, maybe I'm brewing a storm that does more harm than good. I just wish we could all instantly not be bitter at each other based on social identity categories.

    Straight answer - no.

    Thinking about why... I don't know, maybe I'm just so privileged on everything else that it doesn't make a dent to be honest.

    It brings me to what I said above: when I think about it I 100% understand your feelings. I'm just arguing for a clean message that leaves no room for victimization on the other side.

    I'm not arguing the current state of things, just the base principles.

    I want things to change too. The best way to get our point clearly across is to give the other side as little ammunition as possible. What would you possibly have to gain by giving them the possibility of replying with something like "well now you hurt MY feelings"?

    It's not about how justifiably angry you are. This fight is bigger than you.

    It’s just a stereotype I’ve noticed having some validity to it that amuses me.

    This can be used to justify any kind of lighthearted discrimination irregardless of who, or in what degree, it offends.

    I'm not saying you were rude or unfair, just that we should be the change we want to see.

    I see your point, I feel where you're coming from, I can understand why it feels justified to you. But this is how circles of hate work.
