So as a white person, you are not offended by racist comments? Swell for you.

I may not take offense to the words of others, but do think I'm a fairly compassionate person. If that were to happen to my neighbors (my previous neighbors, before I moved were black and I was very good friends with them), I would do everything in my power to help them through that.
Keep in mind that there is a big difference between actually vandalizing the property of another person and some old man telling me I'm inferior to him.
As a white person I'm could never be offended by any comments made by people I have not come to love and respect a great deal.
