20. do you respond to people who use racial slurs and hate speech
with the same kind of 'it's your fault for being offended' assholery?

I doubt it. As one who has lived with not only the devastating effects that mental illness can have on a family- AND the hereditary gift of bipolar disorder, I call bullshit on your defense of minimizing and stigmatizing sufferers. Mental illness is MORE than 'true depression'- (and I in NO way am minimizing that condition)- Perhaps you might want to re-read your last sentence, and ask yourself if you enjoy being a hypocrite.
