Some of those really are ridiculous. Apparently it's also considered micro aggression to ask someone where they're from. I'm Brazilian, and was born there but moved to the US when I was 7. My parents have pretty strong accents though. People sometimes ask them where they are from, and they never feel butt hurt about it or anything. They actually like it when people ask. Gives them something to talk about with new people.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
