Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Alex. I will remind you that you said this next time someone says something slightly negative about the USA and you have a full-on, diva-style breakdown.

I think it applies to my feeling about people criticizing the USA though Livia. What i've been saying in this thread is that when it applies to you, you get offended. When i said, if someone jokes about your family, you take it personally, even if you make the same jokes TO your family. It's not the same.

I am one of the most critical people of US foreign policy and of America when i am talking to other Americans. But when I am on a British website obviously I don't like hearing British people criticize the US. That was my whole point.

Just like if hear straight people criticizing gay people, I will be more sensitive than when i hear gay people criticizing gay people.

That was my whole point Livia. that's why I was making the point, it's okay for you to make fun of your own family, but it's not nice when you hear someone else make fun of your family.

I feel like you haven't listened to anything that i've said in this thread.

I have listened Alex. You said, and I quote:

"I don't mind racist humor.

I don't like homophobic humor though."

You freak out when someone talks negatively about the US. I understand that, you're American... but you can't then claim to be okay with racist humour! Now stop getting so wound up, you daft Yank x

That was obviously meant to point out the hypocrisy that we ALL have Livia.

Obviously I was making a joke, that it's silly that i'm more offended by homophobic humor, (because i'm gay) and i'm not really offended by racist humor (because i'm perceived as white)

You didn't get the irony.

But it's true, i can easy laugh off and ignore racist humor because it doesn't directly offend me, but i can get irate and angry about homophobic jokes, because it feels like a personal attack.

I obviously understand the hypocrisy there, and i was pointing it out because we ALL have that kind of hypocrisy. We ALL get more offended when it's something that affects us personally.
