On one hand, if someone tells you you've been acting under an assumption that something's okay but it actually ISN'T, you should probably fix that. But on the other hand, no matter what you say, SOMEONE is going to get offended. You fix your unconsciously bigoted speech and somebody on the other side is going to accuse you of pushing a "liberal agenda." So I guess the best thing to do is act out of love, and if it turns out somebody's offended you listen carefully to see if they have something to teach you or if they're splitting hairs-- but you DO listen, and if it changes the way you act out of love, then you're still acting out of love... I hope I'm making sense, I'm sick today...!
