Thank you. This whole issue of "tone" that some white people keep raising when people of colour call privilege on us really needs to be dealt with somehow.
And yet it's funny how some white people don't think it's a problem when they and their friends get angry when people of colour (or other underprivileged people) hurt their widdle feelings.
(If you have the fortitude to read through all the linkspam that describes the totally off-the-wall responses of people like mac_stone and tnh, who have naturally flocked their posts or even in some cases deleted their journals to avoid owning up to their racists comments and responses - note I am not calling them racist, just saying that like all us white folk, they have done racist things, often without knowing - you will understand exactly what I mean.)
