I'm sure Dante has insulted someone in his life like that. Called them something really really offensive and then didnt understand why the other person was angry. Classic cognitive dissonance.
Not really. Two wrongs don't make a right. And let's be real: calling a straight white male a 'cracker' or a 'breeder' just isn't the same thing. One day, when we're more equal as a society, it will be the same. However, right now a largely straight white male crowd and/or straight crowd throwing slurs at women and other minorities just isn't the same. It's not even the same for Evangelical/Protestant Christians to throw insults/jabs at religious minorities like Jews, Catholics (in some places), Hindus, Sikhs and Muslims.
Again one day it will be but it it isn't yet.

Of course not. Thank you for proving my point. It's ok for minorities to be racist because they're minorities. Ridiculous.

I didn't say it made anything wrong or right. It's a contradiction regardless of how I feel about it.
It's not the same now? They're both insulting. Are you telling me how to take a slur? Do I not have the right to complain because I'm WASP? That's reverse racism
