raitobezarius | I think what I am trying to convey is that people feel hurt by this, usually, when people are told this, they acknowledge this can be offensive and apologise, if you don't think this is offensive, fine ; but I don't think it's a good strategy on the long term generally.
Sentences of the type "X is a joke, it's not intended to be offensive" are not good looking to me regarding these problems. | 14:22:08 |
