I would imagine "telling them off" and "not engaging whatsoever" are two different things. Like, there's a difference between just disagreeing, and swanning in and holding court like because one doesn't agree with the upset, or feel the upset themselves, that therefore means any upset is inherently ridiculous and shouldn't exist. Granted, this has less to do with race than with some people being pretentious fucks by nature, but has struck me, personally, as particularly obnoxious when people with majority representation in the media being argued over do it against minority critics over, and over, and over again, in the same ways, often with the same arguments. It's eerie, sometimes.
