Its your right to not be offended by those things. But my argument here is that many people that I've spoken to have found these stamps offensive. And you basically blew it off like we're being too sensitive. People have a right to not want to see negative stereotypes perpetuated, and they also have a right to have their opinions and concerned taken seriously, instead of simply being dismissed as "overly sensitive minorities."
