Jesus Christ. You don't know the difference between someone doing a Nazi salute at a German "occasionally" when abroad and someone in the U.S. doing it to a Jew in the U.S.? And having it happen multiple times in my life? Really? Are you really comparing those two things?

Because that's even more fucking offensive.

Especially since you ignored literally everything else I said so you could whine about how you're treated as badly as Jews because you're German.

I didn't even get past that part because you are coming from such a ridiculous position of privilege that you don't even comprehend the idea of what it is like to be on the receiving end of bigotry.

You need to open your eyes.

And since I have tried to be nice about this so far, I will be blunt: I will not tolerate these sort of offensive comments from you any longer. It's up to you whether or not you want to keep poking the bear here.

I'll quote myself:

I don’t want to make this a comparison, much less an Olympics.

I hereby formally concede. I want to win this even less than I wanted to start it.
