First world problems...right now the US is arming Syrian rebels so more Syrians can get blown to bits. You're surprised that the culture perpetrating atrocities around the world like that would also hurt the feelings of some upper middle class white "creative type"? Let me break out my violin. What happened, you opened up the window of your ivory tower and didn't like what wafted in? Take off your rose-colored glasses and take a look around you.
You have the right idea. Really puts it into perspective, when these people act like their on a moral crusade defending a upper middle class assholes because he got mean comments from other middle class assholes.
