Rosy, you are far too logical for issues that can be reduced to pleasant phrases of no substance. The back and forth has the appearance of watching someone attempt to convince a young earth Creationist that the earth is millions of years old. And they would also ask you to read a book.
In all aspects of life, people want to apply general rules to preserve brain energy. And so we should - can you imagine if we had to think critically every time someone asks us how we've been?!
But in our current society there's this vague idea that someone must be right when one is being sensitive to the minority. It stems from a one-sized general attitude that usually does serve it's purpose very well. It's a good compass. But the final one-sized general rule here is that people do not wish to entertain ideas to the contrary when the topic involves race.
The logic can be reduced to "I'm being sensitive to the minority race, I am the type of person that will always be sensitive to the minority race, therefore I absolutely will not entertain ideas to the contrary".
That's why it's human nature to mindlessly support the spear throwing.
It's difficult to break down those general guiding rules to enter meaningful critical discussion, as those rules are at the very core of what makes a person good. It's highly threatening to tamper with them, and only skilled logicians should attempt it.
