I just checked the source. This isn't a library policy. It's part of a series of research guides, which are introductions to topics. This is one of three topics under political science. So this is an introduction for people interested in understanding (some) political scientists' understanding of oppression. I'm not an admirer of this approach, but it's useful to understand what the document is and isn't.

Are blacks racist against Asians and Hispanics?

My understanding is that people once said "God bless you" after a person sneezes because they believed the soul escapes the body during a sneeze, and by asking God's blessing, it would return quickly back to the body before Satan could snatch it. So yes, I get offended when somebody suggests an old superstition. I'm a Christian, and Satan isn't going to snatch my soul when I sneeze.When I Survey....

They don't take offense at other cultures or religions or expressions of the people who belong to them.
I said if they invited you into their home and they had a shrine or something religious there. You said "Taking someone to their place of worship" as if it were unwillingly. I was making a joke based on that to point out the absurdity of your strawman argument.
Apparently everything, PM. You seem to be offended if people assume others are part of their culture instead of recognizing they might be of a different culture, and then you turn around and think that it is offensive to assume someone is from a different culture and ask where are they from.
With you liberals, it is always lose-lose and you get offended no matter what.
