Fucks sake man you just reminded me of my first time trying to use a gay chat room when I was 16 on me early day text only based WAP phone.
Some guy was proud of being and openly mentioned that he was a native American gay.
So 16 year old me who only knew about Native Americans from their depictions on Looney Tunes and such things was like:
'Wait if you're native American how can you even have a phone? Or electricity? Or a house? Don't you live in a hut? Well my mums from Africa and they don't have mobile phones over there so how can you?'.
He was obviously severely offended at each question, but I wasn't being racist on purpose, I was literally that ignorant about different kinds of people.
People shouldn't get offended just because people don't know something or have some kind of assumption.
