It wasn't offensive to me nor to him.
Mastodon isn't Twitter. It was built on moderating out information deemed racist or xenophobic. Not everyone understands systemic racism correctly.
I'm not your enemy and I don't believe the other person you've been conversing with is either.
You aren't our enemy either.
I hope this can be an opportunity to express our opinions and grow from this experience.
