And, as I've heard someone else point out - isn't it literally anti-Semitic to assume that Jews and Israelis are, like, the same thing? And/or that Israel is, like, the global mouthpiece for Jews everywhere? Seems a bit reductive, to me... Seems on the same level as thinking the leader of Kenya, or Nigeria, or any African nation speaks for Black people everywhere.
Netanyahu isn't the Emperor of Jews!
Do you have any advice for my son? He's grieving my late husband who was killed for being bald and gay.
This is genuinely terrifying to think about
All these people complaining about the strictness of labels clearly didn't read the bar at the bottom.
Labels are not boxes, they're communication tools that can evolve over time.
In other words - they're not rules, they're guidelines!
"Of course she was, she looked like you"
C'mon dude. You already set this up.
And I would just like to say: yes, if you are offended, your feelings are valid. Whether people respect them or not is a different story. You're not entitled to respect for your feelings, but on the other hand, you're also not entitled to be a dick about people's feelings and claim you're just being rational and logical.
When you mock people for being offended and emotional, you are also being emotional: you're feeling very, very smug.
I also find it rather... interesting... that this comic reframes Dr Pulaski as the offended party, rather than Data, as it was in the original. I do sure wonder if there's anything about Dr Pulaski that a certain segment of the population would identify as emotional and irrational.

"Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends. I have not much hope that Gollum can be cured before he dies, but there is a chance of it. And he is bound up with the fate of the Ring. My heart tells me that he has some part to play yet, for good or ill, before the end; and when that comes, the pity of Bilbo may rule the fate of many - yours not least."
