The way I see it, when someone tells you something is offensive you have 2 choices.
-
Dig your heels in, lash out at everyone around you and leave in a fit of rage so your ego will remain unscathed and you won't have to change anything or suffer the mild embarassment of admitting you were wrong.
-
Listen to the marginalized people who are expressing to you that they are hurt by your choice of words, engage in self analysis, grow as a person, use the experience to better yourself and your community.
Which one of these 2 choices is worthy of a leftist who wants to foster a better world for all?
