It might not seem like something worth arguing over to you as a straight white man, but Jewish people and gay people don't have the same luxury of being able to ignore these issues.

"Not worth arguing over" was in reference to my misguided attempt to distinguish between 'having racist beliefs' and 'acting racist to be edgy'. I feel I went down the wrong path arguing over that. Sorry if I wasn't clear on that.

So, to be clear: I absolutely agree that these issues are worth arguing over, and that we shouldn't ignore them, and it was good that you challenged me on that.
