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.
