I can't take it anymore. Every single day I offend someone. And this time it wasn't even a racist joke or one of my rants on religion. It was a rant about how Taiwan and Hong Kong are complete bastards for seperating themselves from China. I think you all know that I believe in just one China (I am keeping my eye on Tibet). Hong Kong and Taiwan are just little bitches who want to escape their Chinese roots. How dare any of them say that they have their own culture and history when it's pretty obvious that they only formed because of stupid war agreements and pussy nationalists who were too afraid of the Communists.
But never mind my argument. At Stuy, we would just have a nice argument/debate and go on with it. Here, people take so much offense. And the people who take offense aren't even Chinese! But why won't you just argue with me? Please, it would make my world so much better if you'd just argue with me instead of saying "My Taiwanese friends would be really offended!" Look, people should stop being offended and do something about it. Obviously, we all have different ideas of everything. This is inevitable. So obviously everyone will be offended by atleast one person's ideas. So don't act like it's a surprise when it happens. If you're really going to be pissy about it, then argue. Is that so wrong? Or should we always adjust our own ideals to other just so they wouldn't be offended?
And another thing, if it has nothing to do with your people, you really shouldn't be offended. Let your Taiwanese friends bitch about it.
