    You are getting mad at political correctness by being politically correct. I see.

        I don't see it... but even if that were the case, how am I the bad guy?

        Someone hasn't talked to me since last year because of that. I so offended her.

            Many, many people are more concerned with looking good than with analysis of the facts.

              Do the Aztecs' actions justify all of Spanish colonialism?

                Last night I burned down an entire city block and killed a hundred people in the process. Turns out one of them was a child molester, so, hooray for me!

                  It's not about justification.

                  It's about the stalwart denial that other races committed atrocities. I've gotten into lengthy arguments with liberals and afrocentrics about this stuff. At worst, there's a refusal to recognize any historical oppression besides European colonialism. At best, they simply dismiss non-European oppression as irrelevant to current global dynamics.

                        You are being a little ***** by whining about those people's comments. If you want to put it in terms of good and bad guy go ahead.

                          Because smug *******s don't like other smug *******s as a general rule.

                          For example, I hate every last one of you smug *******s.

                              Seriously though, if some wackjob who has enough time to write a diatribe against white men on Facebook goes off on you, who cares? I mean, it shouldn't make you so hurt that you go after anti-P.C. Columbus Day jokes. Are you that insecure?
