I know what you mean. Personally, I'm not offended on behalf of others, I'm pissed off with the bloody idiots who think they're better than 'gooks' or whoever. "Sticks and stones ..." etc. but people don't always stop with abuse, sometimes they do resort to violence. If people don't mind a particular label then who am I to argue? It's their call. It's just that racism makes me extremely angry - I have this urge to beat some sense into these people. I'm sure that's not as mature an attitude as the starter of this post has, but maybe I'm not as mature as him

edit : make that "definitely not as mature"
