But youve missed the rest of my post. Forget everything else, you didnt really respond to the whole dismissal of 'weve come along way' when the response to you is initially is pretty much 'have we?' with examples of why that is not the case.At no point have I come off offended, or even mentioned being offended. It's just assumed by by senor Montoya and now yourself. Which in itself is part of the problem.
To be fobbed off with "oh you're just showing your white privilege" is utter Bollox. There's no argument, no discussion, it's a case of my opinion is final.
The whole thing is a minefield and to just dismiss every counterpoint as white privilege or racism sets a dangerous precedent.
The guy should have thought before speaking yes, did he intend to come across as offensive? Probably not.
Boris however, is just a horrible arsehole who I doubt gives a shit about anybody other than himself regardless of creed.
How anybody voted for that prick I'll never understand.
You also stated in a latter post "Instead of arguing the actual point..."' which is quite apt given youre the one who went away from the actual discussion using sarcasm as a tool to not discuss the point in question.
How does 'I'm off to get my pointy white hood.' add anything to the discussion? That essentially was your counterpoint so its quite fitting that was dismissed as 'white privelege'.
Again im not here to defend @Inigo Montoya but I was rather interested to read the actual counterpoint (which you didnt provide)
