Some things I've learned

I've been following rydra_wong's links to the current uproar over racism and cultural appropriation with interest and a great deal of apprehension. I haven't read anywhere near all the posts she has linked to, and I've ignored most of the replies on a lot of these items.

I've realized something about things I say and how they may be heard that, well, embarrasses me, but it's better to know than not to know. This may all be navel-gazing; take it for what it's worth, and if it helps someone else, great. If it only helps me, well, please don't laugh at me too much. ( Maybe becoming a little less clueless, under the cut )
