if a person of color is telling you that you’re being racist you need to recognize it and apologize. if a gay/bisexual person is telling you that you’re being homophobic/biphobic you need to recognize it and apologize. if a transgender person is telling you that you’re being transphobic, recognize it and apologize. if a woman is telling you that you’re being sexist, recognize it and apologize. the line is not yours to be drawn.
I remember mentioning that it was interesting that the best fried chicken was usually found in the poorest neighborhoods. A person of color said that was a racist thing to say, even though I never mentioned race.
Should I still have apologized?
