[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 8076406, member: 22779"] Not to be a dick here, but, this is precisely what I've been pointing to since I got into this thread. And it's why I get so annoyed in these conversations. Not at you [USER=6801328]@Elfcrusher[/USER] because, well, you did your due diligence. You actually took the time to look at the specifics of why a book like this would be offensive and realized, oh yeah, that's pretty damn offensive. But, THIRTY FIVE PAGES into this thread, hundreds of posts, and we STILL have to explain to people like [USER=6960019]@oriaxx77[/USER] what the problem is. It is so freaking frustrating to make the point, present the evidence, and then be completely ignored by people who obviously have zero background in the issue. I've been banging my head on this wall for twenty freaking years (Oh, it's just a dog, why can't we have a dog in the bedroom in our children's textbook? Well, because not every culture in the world allows pets in the bedroom and some cultures see that as disgusting. Do you want to sell your book in those countries to help pay off your mortgage? Then change the bloody picture and learn a little bit about other cultures before you write English textbooks for those cultures.) Ahem. Sorry, might have gone on a bit of a tangent there. :D Look, boys and girls it's simple. When someone gives you specific reasons why X is offensive, your first reaction should NEVER be, "oh, well that's just manufactured offense". If you don't know why X is offensive, LEARN. Do not presume, in your ignorance, that other people are just as ignorant of history and culture as you are and that they are just attention seeking. These are real issues. These things MATTER. They might not be important to you, or me, or Bob down the street. But, they are important to someone. And it costs you nothing to learn why. [/QUOTE]
