There was a time when this would have offended me but I've grown since then.

Asian sociology teacher freshman year at LSU said he experienced racism because the person at the sandwich shop gave him the end of the bread for his sandwich. Black folks in the class got a kick out of that.

Mexican gf in middle school got offended because I said she was Mexican. Not in a derogatory way, just in a matter of fact kind of way She was actually of Mexican decent. But she was upset that "I assumed she was Mexican"

Not only copy the thread, but also use one of the answers.

Yeah what the hell, Devil_doge? Super weak man

The Askreddit thread has the same exact title

And one of the top responses:

A lady at my old job had a complaint put in against her because she said "Good morning, girls!" to a couple of the secretaries. One was a feminazi who said she was offended by this because she was a grown, independent woman, and not a girl. The complaint didn't go very far.

I was in a meeting and had a woman called me out for casually using the term "a boat load" to refer to an excessive quantity of something.

She said that phrase was referencing slave ships and it was inappropriate.

I always assumed it was actual cargo ships it was referring to.

Anyway, the irony is that I used the term "boat load" so that I wouldn't say "butt load" which is my preferred nomenclature when referring to large quantities.

She was white? I would have had trouble keeping my composure In that instance. I've seen my dad get drunk and offended plenty of times. One time we are over at parrots in Kenner looking at some army surplus. The owner who he knows, in a shitty joking manner, offers him a job. I don't know why this pushed his buttons but we get home and next thing I know he's calling the guy up asking him wtf he meant by it. Kind of funny to think about it now. Miss that guy. About to go work on his fence.

Maybe the brother wasn't the one who was retarded.
