EXACTLY, GDI. Most of the... let's say 'different' people I know, for example, are just annoyed when you start calling them fancy names, instead of just saying what they are. All this excessive discussions about how racism is totally bad, yatta yatta yatta, but it's racism all the same when you single them out in a different way. Even if you don't mean any harm, you imply they need to be treated different. Why can't people get it into their heads? x.x
