Pet Peeve And Benedict's Apology

One of my pet peeve's is when people talk while someone else is talking. I've been spoken over before and it gives me too many different things to try to listen to if two people are talking at once. It makes me want to scream. I don't want to hear more than one person talking at a time. It hurts my ears.

Another thing I want to talk about: Benedict Cumberbatch's apology. I know a lot of people will think he's only doing it to keep his fans and make himself look good, but he's not. He's really a great guy and Sophie is a very lucky woman. His apology was definitely genuine. And what he said isn't really racist, as far as I;m aware. Plenty of people say 'colored people' or 'people of color'. If he'd said 'black people', someone would've been offended. If he'd said 'people who aren't white', someone would've been offended. He could've said any number of things, and someone still would've been offended. I personally tend to say 'African Americans'. But I'm sure that offends people too. Sometimes, I just say 'black people', which is definitely offensive to some people. But I can't help offending people. Someone will always be offended, no matter what you say or how you say it.
