70. Wow.
"I'd rather the people that are offended by these ads just be marginalized, laughed at, and ignored. We just don't need people that are that weak and fragile to tell us what's appropriate or not."

NOW I understand the mindset of why so many whites on DU can't stand it when people of color are offended by something they think is racist. It's the same thing. THIS is the mindset, in a nutshell. And I catch it both ways, being female as well.

That's very telling. Guess I'll just shut up and go crawl back in my hole now. :sarcasm:

By the way, who is "us?" As in "...to tell *us* what's appropriate or not"? Whatever happened to if it affects one, it affects all?
