I think you\\\'re misunderstanding why I brought them up. It was \\\'\\\'not\\\'\\\' to say \\\"everyone should be like them;\\\" that is a totally unrealistic expectation. I brought them up to say if they can do it when they\\\'re facing things like the constant, ingrained oppression of their people and literal, physical threats to their own lives and the lives of their loved ones, then it\\\'s probably possible, even if \\\"very hard\\\", to take a deep breath and not flip out when a fantasy author makes a mistake about your neighborhood out of simple ignorance.
I never said everyone is or should have to be MLK or Gandhi--hence me saying they\\\'re extreme examples and they must have the patience of saints. The \\\"your privilege is showing\\\" is simply uncalled for.
I \\\'\\\'also\\\'\\\' never said that it\\\'s nothing worth making a fuss about and, in fact, I said exactly the opposite in my previous posts, that it\\\'s a legitimate grievance that they have every right to voice. I have said this, or similar things, more than once during this discussion.
I\\\'m saying when that fuss is made, \\\'\\\'maybe\\\'\\\' it should be made without resorting to screaming, cursing, and accusing the author of being a racist.
