(35,961 posts)But I've never come out with something bigoted, tried to downplayed it as merely being a 'bad comment' then swiftly tried to turn myself into a victim. The thing is when people speak in anger it's kind of similar to when someone's had a few drinks. The firewall comes down and everything gets through and in the cases where anger fuels bigotry we get an unpleasant peek into what they really think.
Nothing in the reply to me gave any indication of remorse and acknowledging that engaging in bigotry against another minority group that faces discrimination to try to bolster a defence of their minority group that's discriminated against is incredibly insensitive and hypocritical. Instead I ended up with a short bit basically telling everyone to get over the antisemitism and a far, far longer thing about some drama where she's got the starring role as ultimate victim somewhere on the inter webs that may or may not be for real.
