I still think that George Carlin said the best; the man was a saint. For the most part, words are just words; it's the context that makes them good or bad. Personally, I think there is a big difference in me yelling "nigger!" at a random black person (not something I would do, that's just being stupid and racist) and me going "shit nigga, what are you doing!" while playing Mario Kart with my bro. It's the context that makes those 2 examples quite different. As for the girl, I think she is just being ignorant or overly sensitive. Did you ask her in an offending matter? If not, what's the problem?
 
Normal people would just say "nah, I'm from ______"

People like her will find anything in order to be offended.

You should have called her out and said you are offended at her being classist.

I asked a guy and his girlfriend if they were from around the area while at a pool hall last night. The girl seemed offended that I asked. She asked why I would pose such a question. I plainly said they looked a little hipstery and I've never seen them before.

The girl got pretty upset. She said that hipster is like saying nigger to a black person. I didn't agree. One is a label used to classify a social occurrence, the other is well, horrible.

Labels are bad, and I probably was a little too glib with them, but what the fuck?
BHM is off to a flying start this year

I think this is the most hipstery thing I've ever heard of a hipster saying.

Claiming it's offensive before it's cool to be offended by it.

Excuse me, where is Hipster History Month?

That's it, I'm starting a hastag on twitter

How many centuries of systemic discrimination and slavery did she have to endure?

Damn, I didn't know there was a hipster holocaust, Hipster migration, hipster slavery or Hip Crow Laws tha were in effect at one point in time.

Where have I been?

Exactly, OP that girl is a moron. I would've called her a moron right there on the spot. There is no other justifiable response to someone with who would say something so incredibly offensive.

Neither one are very nice things to call people. It shouldn't be an argument over which one is worse, the argument should be you shouldn't say mean or potentially offensive things to people

Hipster isn't a fucking insult and you're crazy if you think so.

That's implying that hipster is in some way shape or form comparable to the n word. It's extremely clear which one is worse, there's no argument to be had over which one is more offensive, period. And frankly it's stupid to be so offended by the term hipster.

Hipster is so 5 years ago. Now it's all about brand awareness. This girl is probably still spinning The Decemberists last album LMFAO.

If I heard someone say someone "looked a little hipstery" I probably wouldn't want to associate with them either.

Good time to mention how horrible indie music is, gosh they all talk about the same thing. I just can't get into it. All of it is so derivative. And let's not talk about how it perpetuates that white on white violence, leaders of the community need to take responsibility. I mean remember all those hispter thugs rioting in Pennsylvania over the pumpkins? Just destroying their own community. Not to mention the drug use, and lazy entitlement always asking for handouts and demanding organic foods and allowing their kids to shit on the street randomly.

It's a cancer of sorts.

I mean, I'm pretty sure that most people would agree that it's not even a fucking argument over which one is worse in the first place.
