I like the scarf
It's stupid to get upset over someone wearing it. Anyway what she's wearing in the pic looks more like one of my dishrags!

Stuff White People Like
#101 Being Offended
May 28, 2008 by clander
To be offended is usually a rather unpleasant experience, one that can expose a person to intolerance, cultural misunderstandings, and even evoke the scars of the past. This is such an unpleasant experience that many people develop a thick skin and try to only be offended in the most egregious and awful situations. In many circumstances, they can allow smaller offenses to slip by as fighting them is a waste of time and energy. But white people, blessed with both time and energy, are not these kind of people. In fact there are few things white people love more than being offended.
Naturally, white people do not get offended by statements directed at white people. In fact, they don’t even have a problem making offensive statements about other white people (ask a white person about “flyover states”). As a rule, white people strongly prefer to get offended on behalf of other people.
It is also valuable to know that white people spend a significant portion of their time preparing for the moment when they will be offended. They read magazines, books, and watch documentaries all in hopes that one day they will encounter a person who will say something offensive. When this happens, they can leap into action with quotes, statistics, historical examples, and posting messages on the Internet. Once they have finished lecturing another white person about how it’s wrong to use the term “black” instead of “African-American,” they can sit back and relax in the knowledge that they have made a difference.
White people also get excited at the opportunity to be offended at things that are sexist and/or homophobic. Both cases offering ample opportunities for lectures, complaints, graduate classes, lengthy discussions and workshops. All of which do an excellent job of raising awareness among white people who hope to change their status from “not racist” to “super not racist.”
Another thing worth noting is that the threshold for being offended is a very important tool for judging and ranking white people. Missing an opportunity to be outraged is like missing a reference to Derrida-it’s social death.
If you ever need to make a white person feel indebted to you, wait for them to mention a book, film, or television show that features a character who is the same race as you, then say “the representation of <insert race> was offensive and if you can’t see that, well, you need to do some soul searching.” After they return from their hastily booked trip to land of your ancestors, they will be desperate to make it up to you. At this point, it is acceptable to ask them to help you paint your house.
And I hear you love the Crue...who can argue with that???

now i'm offended. fucking idiots. good job.
haha the problem is that there are idiots in the world who assume people are racist that aren't. which kind of makes this thread title equally silly since it does the exact same thing.
The point many, many people overlook here is the fact that she is very annoying. I boycot DD for that reason alone.

No, the title clearly said USA...it's even in caps.
I guess Abu, much like myself, realizes that racism is all over and not just in 'dixie'.

Here is the difference (by example) between northern racists and southern racists:
Southern racist: "Youns a damn n#%*&$!!!!!! I'll take ye out Buckhannon way and learn ye!"
Northern racist: "Oh, there is a black guy over there! Lock the door!" (sipping a latte', in her Jetta speeding back to the 'burbs after attending a fundraiser for school lunches for young black students in the inner city)
Oh yeah, I forgot.

I spent Memorial Day weekend in Savannah... I could write a book. But I had a good time anyway.
It all depends on where you're at. And that's true with any section of this country.

It sounds like we're fighting over who gets to be racist. :eek:
How about we are able to realize our shit stinks just like everyone else's?
