I give you props for honesty.
You've acknowledged that, essentially, you've got some form of algorithm through which all these interactions and conversations are filtered, via which you can determine that calling Tom Perez a corporatist is more offensive than calling Liz Warren a racist.
Not based upon the relative offensiveness of the actual statement in question, which would be the metric I would use- but instead as the sum of a formula involving a subjectively assigned relative weighted score of oppressed groups that Perez can be said to belong to, vs. any Warren can be said to belong to--- divided, of course, by the oppressed group membership score of the person making the comment in question.
I understand your trip, Bain, really I do. I even agree, more or less, with the goals you think you're working to achieve with this stuff.
But I think your methodology isn't terribly good, or logical.
