Knock yourself out if you want to do them and don't argue in poor faith that we should look at getting rid of these absurd hypotheticals as a way to muddy and degrade the serious discussion surrounding racial abuse and intolerance.
It's transparent and horse**** and quite frankly insulting our intelligence the way you're trying to frame this. You don't like that racist acts are a huge deal now a days when they weren't always, and you're voicing your opinion, be genuine, be a man about it. This wishy washy "oh but what about this" is just weak and stupid.

I'm telling you point blank that that's not my intent of the thread.
I certainly hope that I treat everyone the same regardless of color and that I'm helping society slowly abolish racism and marginalization. So self reflection of other little things that may be bad is a good thing, isn't it?

I would be so highly surprised if that was the case, judging by the tone of your original post, but I guess I'd have to take you at face value if you suggest this a "wanting to be more racially sensitive" thread and not a "hating all the hoopla around racial insensitivity" thread, similar to what you see all over social media.

I think hoopla about racial insensitivity is a good thing. I mean, there are probably bigger issues we could talk about before emojis, but I'm a white dude in the first world so if you liken it to switching to bamboo straws to prevent global warning (which many people/corporations are doing) then isn't it a fair point?
