I don't think social justice, in its current incarnation, is a necessary thing. Campaigning for equality that does not currently exist but should - good. Telling people they can't do, say, or think this, that, or the other because it MIGHT potentially be offensive - pointless bullying.

I say this not necessarily to start a fight, although I'm sure it'll go there, but it's a thought I had based on my realization that I am uncomfortable loosening up around people of other races BECAUSE I'm afraid that I will unintentionally be offensive. Because everything is hypothetically offensive, depending on who you ask, and what if they can sense that and think that I'm snubbing them on purpose and somehow by trying not to offend them, I have? I don't need that pressure in my life.

Yes, I realize I am neurotic. I blame the internet wholeheartedly.

I kind of get you. Personally, I think that people are trying to make too much happen too soon, in terms of changing society, and doing too much through legislation rather than trying to slowly create a social environment that will fit these ideals.

Some things need to be legislated, like equal rights, equal pay, etc. But many things I think, if we give it time, we'll make the transition.

s BECAUSE I'm afraid that I will unintentionally be offensive

It's a double edged sword - even if you do, do you think the other person is going to call you on it? Honestly, I think it's harder to offend someone than anti-sjw like to think. Disadvantaged people have and do put up with a lot of shit, and while microsggressions are still shit to be on the receiving end of, I seriously doubt that you're going to stumble into something offensive, especially if you're just having light conversation.

I'm uncomfortable loosening up around people, period, because I'm afraid I'll be offensive, so I check my behavior in pubic and dealing with strangers in ways I don't do in private and when dealing with friends. I thought that kind of social awareness in general was normal and to be encouraged, not neurotic. Because if it's not normal, it would explain a lot about why so many people don't seem to know how to fucking act around each other.

You need to get out more if you've come to that conclusion.
