    Exactly: the offfender has no right to tell the offended not be offended...Can you imagine a mugger telling his victim to not be outraged? Well, yes I can, because anything's possible...A father who molests his daughter telling her not to take it seriously? Same gig: yes, I'm offending you, but you're being silly by actually feeling slimed—that's your problem.

    What is it that you folks aren't getting? The point is this: it isn't up to white people to tell Indians what they should and shouldn't find offensive. No more than an Italian should tell a Jew what to find offensive, no more than a Jew tell an African-American that Nigger isn't offensive.
