Me: “hey man what you did was sorta racist, and hurt me, here’s a full explanation why and here’s some resources to improve your knowledge “
A white: “I don’t agree.”
Because all of that is subjective. If your offense is subjective it doesn’t need special treatment. Plus what the person did was most likely not even a bit racist but you’re just an overly sensitive person who thinks everything is racist.

Also, stepping in here, the moment someone says you hurt them, you don’t get to decide that you didn’t.
Maybe you didn’t mean to, so apologize and move on. But if it was your intention, then you’re just an asshole.
Don’t apologize and move on. Apologize and educate yourself and do BETTER.
But Yes:
