George handles it right. ^_^ See yall? Its not that hard to not be a twit when folks call you on stuff. Calling out only becomes a hatefest when the action -was- problematic and the person doing it defends it, without really acknowledging -why- the action was problematic. We should take a lesson from Takei(along with all the others he offers). This is the way to handle it when youve found yourself accidentally stepping on other peoples pain, or accidentally adding fuel to the oppressions they face, and someone calls you on it. Remember, its not just about people being offended. It fuels culture-wide prejudices, which in turn have real-world consequences for real people. Sticks and stones may not hurt directly(though they actually do when its constant enough), but they do add to the likelihood of something happening that will.
