It’s just rude when a group of people is upset regarding the perpetuation of harmful and insensitive cultural stereotypes that makes them look bad, and someone’s first thought is the standard, “I don’t get how it’s offensive (presumably because it doesn’t offend me personally), so you’re all just overreacting.”
This statement almost invariably devolves into how various minority groups are just too sensitive these days and that political correctness has gone too far.
