I just firmly believe we should all be very careful about generalizations. Not everyone is going to read the post line by line ...
And BTW, I did tell the OP that I understand what her intent was. Not sure why she or anyone else needs to defend it. The bottom line is that we need to always TRY to be sensitive to people and I really DO have a problem with broad generalizations. |
No it wouldn't have bothered me. I've been dealing with it all my life especially since I'm a military brat and been all over the world with many different nationalities. A majority of my friends are of different ethnicities. I'm very open-minded with a thick skin and have been raised not to get offended when someone uses the "n" word, etc. if I read a title with "blacks lie" in the title, I would read to see the reason for the title. If it said black ppl always do this or these stupid black ppl did that then that's a reason to get upset but I made it clear what my intent was. The breeders were German and used the language barrier to make me think the date was different. That's what I meant. And my reason for defending myself? You put this on my question and now I have all these comments that have nothing to do with the point of the comment. You could've sent a private message and I could've fixed it but u make me sound like I meant harm or something when I didn't. That's why I defended myself. Once again that was not my intent but thx for making it seem like it was.
