Well, I spoke not of flipping out but of resignedly giving up trying to help coz you're being told you're not, in the first place. Also, it's not behaviour. It's being white. That makes all the difference. If what you did was have white skin, reflecting won't help much.

It is central to liberalism that we *not* judge people by their race, gender or sexuality, Greg, but by what they say and do. If we disagree on this, we will never find common ground.

Yes, you can. Unless you're a cultural relativist. 'I think women should stay in the home' could come from a number of backgrounds but it doesn't get better or worse depending on which one. Christian? Bad. Muslim? Good. Consistently support equal rights for women.

We can certainly have more sympathy for horrible views if we know where they come from. People who develop anti-Muslim bigotry coz they are ex-Muslim & their life has been threatened. Women who hate men because their father & husband were abusive bastards. Still bad takes tho.
