(10,745 posts)Yes, by the way, we all do bleed red. Irish people were discriminated against(and pretty badly, too). And yes, from my experience, there are indeed some individuals who actually DO look to be offended, even; and it's not just reactionary conservatives who are guilty of that, either(though to be fair, they're usually the worst offenders). We have supposed self-labelled "progressives" of both genders, and on many subjects, not just this one) doing that exact thing right here on DU! And yes, I'm colorblind(and I mean, legitimately colorblind), too. But I suppose you're going to get all in a huff about that, too, aren't you?
Honestly, maybe you should get off your high horse. Just because someone disagrees with you, doesn't mean they are "devaluing" your experiences, or even attacking you because of your ethnicity(yes, you've implied this before, btw. Here's an example: http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=4977281. Number seven in that list you made), etc.
And frankly, I think I may have been too polite about this, actually, given the fact that you keep throwing these proverbial spitballs in my direction. It got just plain petty a long time ago, and I've about had enough of that shit.
