Hatred

[captain_slinky]

If I hate somebody because of how they handle their racial/sexual awareness rather than hating them because of their race/sex, is that still Bigoted?

EXAMPLE: I eat a Banana near my Latvarian friend, he says "Oh you are NOT eating that racist banana in front of me! Is that what you think I am? Yellow on the outside but white on the inside?" I HATE YOU!

EXAMPLE: I list all 507 potential kinds of sexual orientation as the kinds of people who are welcome to come to our party, and you reply with "You listed (SEXUAL ORIENTATION #328), but not (SEXUAL ORIENTATION 328-A, WHICH IS SPELLED WITH AN X INSTEAD OF A K) because admit it, you hate (328-A) like me!" I HATE YOU!

It's okay to just hate people like that, isn't it?

I feel your pain. I actually had your second example happen to me in a conversation once. Hatred is so energy consuming. I'm not above mockery though. ;-)

It is all a misunderstanding anyway. I wasn't commenting on your inner and outer color my Latverian friend. I was trying to send you the clue that I think you are a-peel-ing. Living under the shadow of your Glorious Leader (may he not magically incinerate me where I stand) has left you cynical and pessimistic.

"Hate" is probably too strong of a word, I admit... but Extreme Annoyance just comes across as unaccepting bigotry in the eyes of the Latvarians :/

There's a difference between sensitive and obnoxious. I went to college with a lot of people who were the latter, so I feel you.

That behavior is definitely obnoxious. I'm with sasjhwa in that I think it takes too much effort to hate, and neither instance sounds worth it in and of itself. Hate tends to indicate an active state, and I'd rather just ignore them and move on with life. Let them be mired in whatever baggage they have, but keep me out of it!

Oh I'd MUSH rather just ignore them as well! But not addressing their concerns just comes off as unaccepting bigotry in the eyes of Latvarians

Hate may be too strong of a word, but that's what it comes off as even if it's just extreme annoyance...

Oh man, they're doubly obnoxious!

Hates a strong word. But yea, Id say its ok to be strongly annoyed with anyone who is so overly PC. It becomes obnoxious.
