I don't think this has anything to do with how you express yourself. I think it has to do with you treating your own willful ignorance as more important and better-informed than somebody else's real-life experiences that they are offering to share with you. I hope you find that this is valuable and constructive…

If blatantly racist trolling is how you treat people you like, I hope I can change your mind very quickly.

No, I just know panicked race-baiting when I see it.

Holy crap, I guess I do have to break this down for you. No, Japanese Katy Perry fans would probably not have the same opinions of Katy Perry's oriental fetishist behavior if they knew the extent to which overall American oriental fetishism goes (and though KP's VMA performance is just a small slice of this, it's…

You win.

Oh man, I thought it was sarcasm too. Curse you Poe's Law!

I didn't realize you weren't joking.

I'm kind of over people acting like just because someone is ignorant we should give them a pass.

Oh that's straight up horseshit right there. Just because someone doesn't have a traditional learning path doesn't mean their views aren't important.

Famous high school drop outs that occasionally have very interesting things to say:

This woman is nominated for several Grammys and Janelle Monae is not.

Oh, I think it came from ignorance all right, but the big problem is that she learned nothing from the experience. She's willfully ignorant at this point, and that's problematic.
