      LOL then that same majority shouldn't be bothered by someone saying "white men". Didn't bother them in 2008. Or 2012.

      It wasn't this pronounced then. The problem of identity politics has been growing and producing counter identity politics.

      And people are going to object to white men being presented as cause of all evil. Even lefties. This is a reason they give for voting right.

      Didn't you JUST say most people aren't in that insane minority? Why cater to them?

      It is an insane minority both presenting that position and being offended by it

      this isn't about being offended. it's about bringing the discourse back to sanity all around

      Please stop telling my followers to get out of my conversations. If you can't be civil & reasonable, I'd rather you left.

          Part of being civil and reasonable involves following the whole thread, including James' discussion with Laci. You can run your convos

          However you choose, but I've no interest in being spoken down to by a stranger who thinks I'm attacking a straw man

          feel free to point out where James made the argument that this is about offense, then. i've read it all and i don't see it

          While I do that, why don't you characterize James' argument for me, as you understand it.

          you're interpreting that to mean white men are fragile, which is oversimplified to where it's badly missing the point

          James' argument was don't say "white male" cause saying it has brought us to the brink of nuclear war. Worst kind of correlation.
