I just can. You can't be emotionally undersensitive to something.how can you easily tell something that is so subjective? are you equally good at telling when someone is being under-sensitive?This leads back to the subject's OP's pointAs has been mentioned in umpteen discussions such as this, *we* don't get to decide what is or isn't offensive in someone else's eyes. If Native Americans find the term "redskins" as offensive as African Americans find the term "n****r," who are we to tell them they're wrong?
How can I decide who's offended by such things? It's up to the individual. And if enough individuals are offended, the offending party - regardless of their intent to offend - should take notice.
I don't know who is being offended, but I can easily tell when someone is being overly sensitive.I hate it when people are over-sensitive. This whole deal about the Redskins having to change their name because it offends someone is pretty stupid IMO.

Because you own a mirror?I can easily tell when someone is being overly sensitive.
That doesn't make sense.Because you own a mirror?I can easily tell when someone is being overly sensitive.
