I liked his point about the word ignorance. calling someone ignorant is not some sort of low class insult, people are ignorant, all of us are in various ways. we need to stop treating words like "ignorant" or "bigot" as if they are offensive terms, they are not. they are not insults. they have real meaning and they apply to everyone in one way or another. There is nothing wrong with pointing out someone's ignorance or bigotry.

I agree, it's as misinterpreted as 'offensive' things can only be offensive if the intention was to offend.
