I am all for learning. But you don't get to decide what other people are going to get offended about.
People in minority groups are understandably sometimes sensitive about people in dominant majorities acting like the minorities are obliged to educate them.
I don't have any particular vendetta against pattern-matching. Being made out of meat, I do it myself. But if it isn't done with respect and politeness, it is at best negligent and at worst arrogant and self-centered. And I definitely have a problem with those behaviors, especially directed at people who already have a hard row to hoe.
