Conversation circa 1970:
Mac: "I hear there was a police shooting in the city." Jude: "Was it a black man shot?" Mac: "I don't know."
Conversation circa 1980:
Mac: "One of the high school teachers was accused of rape." Jude: "You're kidding. Is it true?" Mac: "All I know is that there was a party and drugs involved." Bob: "Drugs again. I just don't get it."
Conversation circa 2014:
Mac: "I hear there was a police shooting in the city." Jude: "Was it a black man shot?" Mac: "What do you mean by that? That police are more likely to shoot a black man?" Bob: "It's true. I read it on the Internet. It said blacks commit more crimes and get shot more often." Tony: "What kind of racist site gave you that?" Bob: "It was just a site about violent crimes like homicide and rape and-" Linda: "Not all rape is violent. That site is wrong." Steve: "Are you guys talking about that high school teacher who raped that girl?" Jude: "We don't know he raped that girl. She might be lying." Steve: "Oh, so you're going to blame the victim now." Tony: "Wait, was the rape victim black?" Jude: "We don't know she was a victim. She-" Carl: "How do we know it was a 'she'. Men get raped too." Jude: "Not nearly as often! That's precisely the sexist attitude that-" Steve: "Wait. So... the rapist was a black victim?" Mac: "Why are you calling blacks 'victims'!?" Tony: "What about the man being a victim!?" Pearl: "Was it a man or a woman?" Steve: "Why are you discriminating between men and women? What if it was a trans-man or a trans-woman?" Mac: "Now you're calling all trans-persons rapists!? I don't believe this!" Steve: "I never said anything about black persons being rapists, I-" Mac: "Trans persons. You-" Jude: "Hold on there, Mac. Not all blacks are trans persons, and I really think we should be calling them 'African Americans'." Pearl: "That's rich. Fine. You call all 'African American' trans men victims and that makes it all OK." Bob: "Wait. I'm lost again. Was it the student who raped the teacher...?"
Mac, Pearl, Steve, Jude: "Blaming the victim!"
Bob: "N... no. No, I'm not. You're just saying that because I'm a man. That's sexism!" Carl: "Don't lecture them about sexism. You were the one who said that drugging a white... No.. wait..." Mac: "He said that drugging a black trans victim was... not blaming the... sexist woman victim rapist. I think." Linda: "No. You said that blacks get shot by rapists because police can't stop blaming victims. So we called you out on your sexism and transphobia." Carl: "What... um... what is the sex of a trans... victim? Technically?"
Mac, Bob, Tony, Jude, Linda, Steve, Pearl: *gasp*
Jimmy: "Hey guys. Are you talking about the war on Christmas?"

Consider the topic whites vs. blacks vs. men vs. women vs. cops vs. people shot by cops vs. rape apologists vs. rape hoax apologists vs. rich vs. poor vs. right vs. left vs. ageism vs. sexism vs. racism vs. gun owners vs. gun haters vs. warmongers vs. pacifists vs. secularists vs. Christians vs. Muslims vs. Hindus vs. atheists vs. illegal aliens vs. free citizens vs. conservatives vs. libertarians vs. liberals vs. progressives vs. thisphobics vs. thatphobics, where every possible statement is offensive, every person is a bigot, every slight is unforgivable, every questionable statement must be mercilessly prosecuted, and only the brazen, the apathetic, and the cynical retain their sanity.
Or, you can discuss how much you hate snow leopards.
Either one.
