Yeah you're probably right. I'm just used to phases being in high-school, lol. But college has been a long, drawn-out realization that just because we've grown up doesn't mean everyone has gotten smarter/more analytic/more reflective/etc.

But yeah that's basically how I feel. It's always eggshells around him about shit I don't find very important. Ah man, maybe I am insensitive. But it's like, (in the words of Bernie Mac) I'm fuckin out here with all these white people just tryin to get an equal piece of the pie, I'm not focused on this shit.

Plus it comes down to "I am offended about X, but let Y slide." Like how his gf has a sticker on her truck that's like "I LOVE DYING AND BEING DEAD," which, if we're going to play the game, would be something I'd say triggered me, considering the events of last week. But when I brought that up with him all of a sudden "it isn't a representation of her as a person!"
