I have found things you have said insulting to both me personally and to my own background which you made fun of below. We don't see eye to eye on things. I didn't even know you were a PoC or the person above was either until you told me, so take it as you will, it wasn't me doing anything based on anyones skin color.
Umm, no. I already explained, specifically, what parts of your comments are problematic and why. It is entirely possible to express why you disagree without being dismissive. It's also possible to listen, learn, and try to understand someone elses PoV, and accept that what might not be offensive to you might be offensive to someone else.
Also, your intent doesn't absolve you of responsibility, so you can stop bringing up the fact that you didn't "intend" to hurt someone.

No one mentioned your background, only the fact that you're not white (or maybe I was wrong?). If you're referring to the :/ as making fun, that's not disappointment in the fact that you whatever race, it's disappointing that you're unable to see eye to eye on issues that DO effect you.
