Could you explain me:

>> What if I told you that your post is extremely cruel for someone struggling with racial or gender harassment?

Probably where I live (SF) I can't totally see the entire problem as you.

Again I'm not saying that there aren't problems at all or SF reflects the world. I'm saying that I'm my pretty own small experience I saw something filled under racism or feminism when it wasn't.

>> As a stupid example, it really pisses me off when people are disturbing me when I try to hack. I lose all my productivity and I feel like I wasted my day. But for them, they don't care... they don't understand, they're just chatting about the weather or whatever

That comes with a perfect example few days ago on a local bus an old man (politely) asked a black guy lower the rap music.

He started to freakout about racism and the fact he can't because he is black etc... Just two normal genuine guys and a problem (music on speaker) that becomes racism.

My comment aimed to say to the girls and blacks that are reading this that not everyone is racist against women and most of us (I hope) are not so please don't think that a small complain/problem is because of that.
