Chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature. Asian-American, please.

If specifically a native of China, I believe Chinese is also acceptable.
I am talking about drawing a line in the sand.

Your attempt to make "snowflake" mean the opposite of what it means to people who are paying attention is not working.
The world does not stop and start at your convenience.
You miserable piece of ****!
Look Larry have you ever heard of Vietnam?
Doesnt snowflake mean sensitive? I am pretty sure he was correctly implying that. Or did you think he was trying to use it to mean thick skinned?
Pretty much every time someone calls someone snowflake it is ironic because it is being used by someone getting worked up about something.

Lord knows I'm a snowflake.
I have feelings, guys. Just not in real life. It's weird tbh.

Actually, I'm pointing out the irony that those who created the term "snowflake" are typically the most sensitive and least able to handle conditions that challenge their view of the world.

You misread my post.
Possibly. Please elucidate. What did you mean by, "Can't we differentiate between when this stuff is offensive and when PC is over-the-top stupid like this incident?"?

He called someone a snowflake for saying this:
You think that's an example of someone being overly sensitive? I don't.

Ridiculous. You are mistaking sensitivity with common sense.
I don't really know how sensitive or not this person is nor do I care. I'm just pointing out his intention with the word. He was trying to imply someone being sensitive which seems to be the definition of the word now. He wasn't implying the opposite of that definition.
But again almost always when someone uses snowflake on either side of an issue it's ironic. People here are sensitive about the cultural appropriation and about being claiming PC stuff and getting worked up both directions.
Also after reading people who are bothered by this it seems very few if any are bugged about the dress. They are more bugged about the dress and the mocking bow pose that the kids were laughing about.
To me it's just kids being naive but there is nothing wrong with the dress and I don't think many people are bothered by the dress.
