No jokes, I just I hate this woman and her paternalistic "benevolent massa" schtick.

    Q: "Shut up, white woman." (Or variations thereupon.)

    A) While I'm sure you didn't mean to sound offensive (and no offense taken, we're cool) someone less equanimous might well be offended by this kind of language. I sincerely don't recommend addressing anyone this way.

    Also, the words "Shut up" can be off-putting. If you're trying to open a dialogue, I've found these words more helpful: "Tell me more,"

    "You'd tell me more, by not speaking." Does that work for you, Claire?

      I mean, if you're American, you know this. Robust protection for political speech is baked deep into the American Constitution and its psyche. And you know the cliché about opinions being like assholes, etc.
