Sadly not necessarily. I've heard it said before that being white automatically makes someone racist.
"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."

So...you're offended, because you believe others are offended.
Okay.
Now what?

I've also heard it said that the government is run by shapeshifting, reptile aliens. Thanks to the Internet, you can find people saying all kinds of nonsense.
I'm probably just as likely in real life to run into someone that eats their own excrement as I am to run into someone thinks being white makes you racist.

Quote:1.) Be white
I prefer the term 'melanin deficient'.
Quote:2.) Speak your opinion
My opinion is that your a bigoted cunt flake who should be the poster child for abortion in the 100th trimester. Are you offended?
Quote: 3.) Believe in traditional values
Translation: You are offended by people who don't share YOUR values. Think about that. Think hard.
Quote:4.) Believe in God
Don't flatter yourself. Your belief in God doesn't offend me. How you manifest that belief may or may not offend me.
Quote: 5.) Love America
By all means, go ahead and love America. I promise I won't be offended. But can YOU promise that you have enough clarity of thought to realize that America may sometimes do things that should make you question that love?
As for me, I don't particularly 'love' the US (I don't particularly hate it, either). I don't vote in US elections (at any level), I don't salute the US flag, and I would never, EVER serve in the US armed forces. Are you offended?
