The results surprised me (not that the small number of votes so far is all that significant).

It would be hard to make me feel like an awkward outsider (possibly because I am a self-confident white male), and I expected most people around here to be like me.

I was going to warn that a most-people-would-brush-it-off poll result would not generalize to groups not well represented on LW. But then I was surprised that such a result did not happen.

That said, the "feel happy because I somehow have the empathy and charity to see the good intent in the other person's actions" felt a bit strong. I would have been more comfortable voting for a generic "would not feel awkward". Maybe that accounts for it.

(Tangent: I wonder if privileged groups are less likely to feel excluded by any given awkward comment?)
