Why do people get offended when you say white men benefit from systemic racism against non whites?

Why do people use the word "offended" when what they really means is "disagree"?

I know why. It's because they don't have a real argument. They think that by applying a label they can discredit someone else without actually saying anything.

says the one who tried playing semantics to discredit my question like a good troll.

I'm certainly not a troll. But yes I tried to discredit your question. It's not semantics, it's simply true and it's extremely common.

Realistically, the way people use the word offended these days has no meaning.

[Asker]

oh please, get over it and if you try to discredit anyone for telling the truth then you are offended, so much for liberals being the only snowflakes.

[WindAtMyBack]

Lol, you just called me offended. I'm not the least bit offended. I just don't agree with you. That's exactly what I said the first time. All you are doing is proving my point.

Or maybe you can read my mind across the Internet and know how I feel better than I know myself how I feel. You can easily see that I don't agree with you, but to think you know that I'm offended is absurd.

[Asker]

playing semantics is the route of the easily offended.

People get tired of the whining and complaining. I’m sure you are misinterpreting it. Cry 😭 baby world. You never hear this garbage in Asia and Middle East. Spoiled brats USA.

They either believe that racism doesn't exist, or they don't want to admit that they're racist.
