"Racism is complicated, but this I know: If you’re white, and a person of color says something you’re doing is racist, they’re probably right. Not you. If a lady tells me I’m being a misogynist, or if a gay friend says I’m homophobic–I apologize, think about how they’re right, and try to change."

Simple, but true.
I’ve always thought it was crazy for a person to say, “You’re marginalizing me” and have the response be, “No, I’m not”. Anything is better than that. Even “I don’t care” would be better because at least they’re acknowledging that it’s happening.
