But if you're interested in getting a perspective from another minority - "THEY AREN'T YOUR FUCKING PETRIE DISH. THEY ARE NOT HERE FOR YOU TO USE FOR YOUR SOCIAL EXPERIMENTS, ASSHOLE".

I guess asking people for their opinions is not only wrong but one of the worst things you can do on the Internet ever (or so I've been told).

Ugh, right? It's one thing if a person is being a blatant troll or asshole, but it's another if they're genuinely unaware/uninformed or are interested in hearing a minority perspective. There are a lot of people who may just not be aware of issues or have friends from a particular minority group or just be young and shouting them down for asking a question isn't doing anyone any favors.

Being annoyed by the (sometimes constant) lack of understanding/getting asked the same questions all the time is one thing and I totally get that, but being an asshole to someone or screaming at them just because you can is another. And just because someone's in the majority (or you assume they are) doesn't mean throwing offensive terms at them is any better. And yet, those people seem to be the ones getting the congratulatory pats on the back for being asshats to people in a lot of places around the Internet that should be safe spaces for discussion for everyone.
