Do you ever think that society may one day be too sensitive?

That is where you are wrong. There is something sacred in having a background, an identity. Similar to when people who are not from one place, claim they are from one place, in the name of homogeny. Bullshit. People are different, as they should be. It is supposed to be a good thing. If people are so judgmental that it is not a good thing to be different, that is their problem (and eventually their own demise).

I don't get it. You mean like when people say, "Ultimately, we all come from East Africa", because the first human beings were in East Africa?

Maybe PP means "claiming" to be American when they are originally from another country? In which case, sorry PP but that ship has already sailed. It left around 1492. Americans are people who put down stakes here.

Some people are bothered when someone sits next to them on the Metro. There ARE some people out there that are a little too sensitive.

Be careful about that. Saw a video where a white women started yelling, "Too close!, too close!" when a black man sat next to her on a crowded train. Think she just thought he sat down too close to her but the man thought she was saying it because she was a racist. So he punched her in the face and beat her. Scary.

How do you know whY she yelled, how do you know why he beat her?
SMDH!
