The unfortunate complicated truth, is that there is. One person's ignorance is another person's violent repression. Here, I see someone confessing for past transgressions, and contemplating how to best bring people to understanding. It would be easy if your genuine right to be upset measured even with the motive of his insult, but it's not always the case. How you move people from harmful ignorance to real understanding is worth worrying about IMHO.There is no such thing as "just trying to be funny"
