Why does...

I’m just gonna read that again-

I get what you mean by the confusing one culture with the other, but the way they reacted was unwarranted. It's hard to say we "ganged up" on them when said "victim" was attacking someone else. They met innocent ignorance with straight up disrespect, so of course the result isn't gonna be pretty. It was obvious the person who originally made the comment wasn't trying to be rude (although some felt they were) so they could've just cleared the air calmly instead of thrashing through everything like this person just came after them. We're not saying they don't have the right to be offended, it's just ways you deal with others and the way they decided to deal with nyxlife was aggressive. nyxlife already apologized from the beginning but they continued to get upset and be rude instead of courteously voicing their opinion. [If you disagree, then disagree. No one will mind if you disagree as long as it's with respect.]<-That's the point of this crazy argument.

And I understand this too. I agree. But I don't think this person knew this story was Korean in the first place. If you're thinking of it as an event, then they walked in not clearly knowing what the event is about. And then again, you can still calmly clear the misunderstanding instead of getting verbally violent.

Sometimes you can't just look at the outcome. You have to look at the intent at times, too. This is one of those situations.

I understand what you're saying but I don't think I or anyone has the right to tell others how offended to feel. Just because I react with composure doesn't mean that everyone will or that I should expect them to. The person is entitled to their feelings. I respect your opinion though and I don't think its wrong. This is just how I feel.

And I say ganging up on because it does seem like some people are commenting things along the lines "wym racist" and not understanding that there was a misunderstanding here.

Exactly exactly I absolutely get that not everyone can be calm. But to add on to what I was saying, actions have consequences. Or maybe what I'm trying to say is their negative reaction can be met with negative reaction? Yea I think that's what I'm trying to say. They can feel offended but it's all about how you come off to people, it's the vibes. Like me having a conversation with you rn, we're calm. The person who felt the same way but came off as aggressive only received more aggressive reactions. Then again, everything is situational so I'm not saying this applies to every single time someone acts aggressive since there's too many possibilities.

^^^^^^ this can y'all shut up about this lmao

Food is food bruh.

blah blah blah just another Koreaboo getting defensive about Korea
do you have nothing better to do than pick on people online?
sheesh

This entire thread is basically the picture perfect example of people feeling like others are out to get them / taking things personal even tho they are not.
It would be hilarious if it wasn't so sad.

To sum it up, the logic of the outraged is as follows:
- If you say you like blond hair, you're clearly racist towards black people (because they only have dark hair). (This is in regards to the ridiculous statement of "saying one culture is better, is like saying another is bad!" - like it or not, some cultures HAVE better things, especially in the healthy food section.)
- If it's not said in favor of what I like, then it's obviously meant as an insult. *takes out pitchfork and torch* (Seriously, just because someone got the origin of an object wrong does NOT mean they are racist (look up what racism is, then you might understand it does not apply to this specific situation))

I really wish people would stop seeing the world in black and white (not the skin-colour terms, the COLOUR terms as a basic, ain't that funny?). There are things inbetween. So no, just because you are offended by something does not mean you can label someone a racist simply because what they said has to do with some part of a culture (which is for some reason always immediately connected to the skin colour of the people of said culture).
Ignorance/lack of specific knowledge does NOT equal racism, especially in these scenarios (me not knowing the origin of a car company doesn't mean I'm racist towards the people of that country, this is the dumbest thing I have heard in ages..). Even if you would like it to be something so severe, it is not. That's simply how things are (but since so many people on this website/the internet don't know the meaning of half the buzzwords they use, someone will probably throw a hissy fit at that statement).

People should stop turning innocent comments into a self-made witch hunt just because they want to find something to be outraged at.
Not everyone is out to get you, so stop reading so much into a simple sentence. It's not healthy for you and it's quite frankly very obnoxious to others. There is no reason to escalate these simple things, unless you are really THAT bored or feel offended by the most simple, innocent and outright unimportant things.


Let me just leave you with a question: Aren't you, as the offended one by such a simple sentence, the problem here instead of OP?
Because it needs a 'they-are-out-to-get-me' and racism-infested mindset to scream racist at such a simple thing. And THAT is much more of a problem to me than OP getting the origin of food wrong.
Just some food for thought.

What are you even talking about?? That person literally just said the food looks good. It is a personal preference. You said you don't like Indian food cuz its spicy. I'm Indian. So should I be all offended and descend my wrath upon you? I can also say that not all Indian food is spicy and we don't chug chillies cuz we r not mental. As I said, its a personal preference. Why do u people think everyone is out to get you.
