I feel like your point would only make sense if these people didn't know they were bad people, but I'd imagine that they'd know that most people see them that way? So I doubt that would impact their words? Would it?

Also your last sentence implies that it is ridiculous to be offended by racism/homophobia/sexism etc? Is that what you meant to say?

My last sentence never mentioned anything about racism, homophobia, sexism, you said that not me............people are shouting 'I'm offended' for just about anything these days. I'm overweight and people have in the past called me names or said something rotten and while I might feel a bit sad about it at first I don't feel the need to shout 'i'm offended' I just feel sorry for the person who felt the need to try upset me because it speaks volumes about the type of person they are and then I get on with my day.
