The former may mean "You're saying something that's helping perpetuate injustice for a particular group," but the latter will hear something like "you're a big, evil, shithead" and be so engrossed by the perceived personal insult that they miss the larger point.
Exactly this. When people react this way, they make it about themselves and avoid having to acknowledge the issue that matters. I was like this some years ago, so it's not that I can't relate.

I can imagine education playing some role, but obviously that wouldn't be the full picture. And again, I must stress it's not a "them others" problem, it's an "us".
