Sadly I’ve basically fucked myself over by being an idiot, some people helped educate me, some others just yelled at me. I understand the use of the term racism in the article now, but of course I can’t edit my post or delete the comments in which I was defending myself. It’s honestly just a fucked situation.

An Iso for your time.

Welcome to the internet, where the only things that you can do if you change your opinion are to:

Leave, let them think what they want.

Respond to every single person saying you’ve changed your opinion.

In any case, you were right at the start. Don't back down. Though it definitely was worded like you were trolling (whether or not you were).

You could always flag it, which would cause it to be hidden.

Ya know, sometimes we all do things or say things that we wish we could take back, the best thing to do when things get squirrely is to countersteer into the skid and drive out of it.

You can dismiss everyone who commented at you then reply to yourself that you were dumb. Pretty much the only way to kill a thread on kinja.

People always seem to say Tumblr is chock full of people yelling at people for making mistakes, but honestly, I’ve seen less of that on Tumblr than on the FP. I made a mistake, I fucked up, some people educated me, and others put on their caps lock.

I took it as a joke, a rather inflammatory joke (the best kind of joke) but a joke nonetheless. Of course, on the internet, it’s hard to gauge the intent with which you’ve written a post, so everybody takes it at face value.

One thing I learned over the years, and I say this to anyone who gets the shitstorm laid on them is this. Never apologize for anything that shouldn’t be apologized for. Also, don’t be afraid to tell some people to shove it.

Of course, that’s just me and my take no prisoner’s approach to dealing with this shit, so it may not work for everyone. In any case, I really don’t have a lower opinion of you because of it.

I see nothing wrong with what you said. Irish isn’t a race. Whether we’re arguing semantics or not is not the point. It can’t be considered racism. Did Clarkson only attack him because he was Irish. No, Clarkson attacked him because he has a short fuse and wanted steak.

I’m with you. Being Irish isn’t a race. Racism is used in that context inappropriately. It may be technically correct but it shouldn’t be.

It seems we need a new word.

Also, dis·crim·i·na·tion

dskrimnSH()n/

noun

1 .the unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people or things, especially on the grounds of race, age, or sex.

This may sound like I’m trolling but I’m not. At what level is calling someone a name discrimination? I get its wrong but to actually discriminate you have to act on something. Getting heated and calling someone something you shouldn’t isn’t discrimination, it is being stupid.

Maybe I’m just being a stickler for the definition while society has decided it has a new definition.

Off to lunch.

Eh, you’re fine. I just read through the posts. No need to be too sensitive about it. You come off as being reasonable and capable of civil discussion.

I don’t think you were an idiot. You brought attention to the difference between a race and an ethnic group, and I didn’t see that you disparaged any group with your comments. So, don’t let it get you down.

Remember, you can learn something from the things people say to you on the internet, but don’t let those people tell you who you are or impact your self-esteem because they don’t really know you well.

Rules are so barbaric. Oh shoot, barbaric is a racist term...Those from the barbary coast might choose to sue me.
