I think it will always be "I reserve my right to be offended by any attempt you make to reference my culture for the simple reason that it's mine, not yours." And that's why the whole fucking thing bugs me. It really comes down to this: Do you want to be pissed off at me? Well guess what. You're going to find an excuse. Do you not want to be pissed off at me? Well guess what. There are ample reasons to excuse my behavior.

But what it really comes down to? The argument that you are somehow justified in shitting on me for multiculturalism because something something birthright. And there's nothing clever about it, there's nothing avoidable about it, and anybody who has 50.0001% of something is gonna get shit on by the guy with 49.9999% of something because that's how we, as humans, do it.
