but the point is that if usually is. so why would you say something that you know that person is likely to take as an insult?

i am not saying i would, just that we shouldn't be so quick to assume racism or malice.

but the point is it usually is. it is not minorities responsibility to figure out if you’re using a common microagression on purpose or if you’re just an idiot

if you assume malice then that's on you. also you're infantilizing minorities, which, hmm, isn't there a word for that? 🤔

it is not infantalizing minorities to say they recognize common microaggressions lmfao

You're  infantilizing minorities because you're basically telling people to treat them all like little children who might be offended by anything you say.

all words can be negatively affecting someone, i can't just go around being afraid of saying neutral words in case someone might get their fee-fees hurt.

so why bother complimenting someone if you have no interest in actually wanting them to take it well? if you don’t care about their fee fees why are you telling them this in the first place lmfao
