I guess we’ll agree to disagree. But I don’t think anyone deserves much credit for the bare minimum of not being an asshole.

My point is that “not being a racist” isn’t doing a good thing, so much as not doing a bad thing.

Oh the points system definitely won’t survive the end of the series

I don’t really consider “I’m not a racist” to be decency so much as neutrality.

I mean...the point wasn’t that it’s made morality harder so much as it is more complex than a simple points system can really capture.

My office gets Chik-Fil-A catered sometimes.

How can you watch this show and think “woo moral relativism!” is the point?

I think the issue people have is when the reformed racists get some notable amount of credibility, like they deserve praise for just not being an asshole.

Sometimes that’s easier said than done.

believe what you want. I really don’t care. I know exactly one person who does this, and she’s a woman. So that’s what I was referencing. I made it explicit in my original post that I work with a woman who does this.

In fairness, if something is wrong, it makes more sense to check in on the meal pretty early on.

It isn’t “all my mocking examples”. It’s one mocking example. And my one mocking example is a woman, because the one person I know who does this is a woman. I’m mocking one exact individual (and I would mock anyone I met like her).

Trader Joe’s ghost pepper chips were the first things I thought of.

I’m guessing it was the “Becky” comment. The woman I know who does this is literally named Becky. That’s all.

So because I deal with one annoying woman who always talks about her diet, that makes me misogynist?

uhhhh what?

They’re allowed to feel uncomfortable about it.

uhhh based on what?

Eh. I don’t know that you’re completely off base, but...eh. Like you say this:

hope they give me a call!
