Who would you be offending by calling it Scotch tape?

You sound like you've been using glue rather than tape...

The point is that nowadays "SOMEBODY" gets "OFFENDED" by pretty much ANYTHING. And there's always SOMEBODY seeing "racism" in all kinds of phrases that HAVE NOTHING TO DO with race, gender, ethnicity, etc.

You failed to make that point in your meme and you're failing to make it now; It isn't the case that "somebody gets offended by pretty much anything".

Your inability to see a connection between something and race, gender etc when others do see it is not evidence that it does not exist, rather it is evidence of your lack of experience and unwillingness to hear the experiences of others.

I get it, it takes a lot of emotional security and maturity to hear about the suffering of a group at the hands of one you belong to without reacting defensively.

The instinct is to silence them, to deny their claims, even to try to reverse them.

You feel like you're being attacked, right?

Are your feelings about accusations directed at a group you're in more important than the feelings of individuals who've literally been attacked and want to be heard so as to affect change, preventing it happening again?

Language has power, people use it to justify all kinds of behavior.

Harmful language is criticized because it demonstrably leads to physical harm.

The text on the submission is "Wanna check with the POLITICAL CORRECTNESS POLICE". It's making fun of THEM.

Thank you for shouting the name of a group of people that don't exist, that changes everything.

Exactly, the adjective is Scottish not Scotch.
