Well among the many problems with that analogy which others can explore further, there is this big one. Who gets to say what is a 'non-issue'? If we follow your analogy to this thread, you've got the boys (you) telling the girls what is and what is not an issue for them. As a white person, what right have you to tell black people what is an issue? It's the 'boyscouts' on this thread going on to the 'girlscouts' board and telling them what is important and what is not! I guess in that sense the analogy is good in the way it highlights your conduct.
