    You sure showed us.
    People got offended because I said I was proud to be white. It's kinda funny. 
    Who's offended? Seems the OP is the most offended of all. By many things apparently.
    Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see anything from anyone about being offended. Several of us asked what that meant, but it's ok, you were just testing the waters for the fun of it. It was a simple question that you have chosen to avoid. 
    Nope, my bad. I missed typed my initial thought and thought I'd delete it but then said, ahh hell, why? Senior moment on my part with all due apologies to the OP as he seems to be the least offended. Personally, it takes a lot more than a burrito joint closing for me to be offended.

    You know, I thought that might happen after I posted. My comment was directed at Riley, but I guess it was ambiguous enough for multiple applications :)
    It's a hopeless situation...

    That's the norm.  Those who dedicate the most time to screaming "PC!" are usually just as easily-offended, just by different stuff that doesn't count for some reason.
