Unfortunately, that seems to be 'going out of fashion' these days thanks to the 'woke' movement. There now seem to be so many people in this country who become 'offended' at the drop of a hat and demand reparations from those who have spoken out.
Sad, when we've always been free to have our own opinions and accepted those of other people, even if we disagree with them.
