i'm not sure why this has turned into such a heated topic. there were things that have been said in jest, light-heartedly, not intending for anyone to take offense to. being a public forum, there will always be views and opinions expressed that not everyone agrees with. everyone has preconceived notions of groups of people they are not associated with. we can either take offense to those stereotypes, or we can try to educate others without silly name calling and hurt egos. |
