And I said nothing at all about plight -- you're reading into that to try to make it sound like I'm being hysterical. John's an a$shole for posting what he posted, but I hardly compared my "plight" to African-Americans, I pointed out that a cute play on words doesn't absolve you of being an a$shole for making fun of a marginalized group.

Nobody said anything about "plight," until you tried to make it sound like I was overreacting, but then again, I'm a hysterical, humorless, victim for hoping that other people can have a modicum of decency, so I guess you're right.

Oh poor you.
