I don’t intend to leave this post up permanently. I’ll delete it later today.
You can be honest with me. I may not be able to reply to everything, but as someone with a public presence, I think I have a responsibility to listen to different opinions, including criticism.
At the same time, I can’t keep responding to this indefinitely, so I’ll leave this open until the end of today.
If you have something to say, you can say it directly.
If this doesn’t apply to you, you don’t need to read this.
I understand that what I said 3 to 5 years ago was insensitive. At the time, I didn’t fully understand how sensitive the subject was, and I associated it with a stereotype. But I never thought that everyone in that group was like that. I understand that what I said was disrespectful to people in that group. I was wrong, and I apologized.
I believe there is room in this world for all kinds of people. I take responsibility for what I actually said.
You are free to dislike me, criticize me, or have your own opinion about me.
What I have a problem with is things I never said, or claims without a reliable source, being spread to other people as if they were facts.
Is the problem that I’m not fluent in English and used translation help?
Or do you think that because of something I said 3 to 5 years ago, there is nothing I can do now to make it right?
If neither, could you tell me what you actually expect me to do? Please reply directly to this post.
