    Which is fine. I probably gave it more emphasis on the side point that the main point. But OP did admit that his wife pointed out that his comments have a misogyny and racist tone, and OP said that maybe that’s true. That’s it.

    “Oprah sucks because she’s like Joe Rogan”

    Ok.

    “And if someone thinks it’s racist and sexist, it maaaaaay be true.”

    Not ok.

      Two things.

      wife pointed out that his comments have a misogyny and racist tone

      First you’re putting words in my mouth. She never said anything about my tone making her believe that, but that my dislike might be misogynistic and/or racist. I believe this is because I wasn’t explaining my position well, so without a good reason, it opened the door for that possibility.

      Second,

      “And if someone thinks it’s racist and sexist, it maaaaaay be true.”

      Not ok.

      It’s a good thing that I’m open to the possibility that I’m biased. This is not something to shit on. I don’t get why this is such a bad thing. Bring open to being wrong is how you grow.

        Understood, and you clarified in another comment.

        Your original comment was not clear enough, at least not to me, but now that I have the full context, I see that you’re not some racist/sexist asshole. But of course, it was wrong of me to accuse you of that in the first place without asking you to clarify. I’ll do that from now on.
