Can I say something to you? Something I've learned in life is to see when you are wrong. Step back, take a breathe and look at what you said. Multiple people are giving you a reason why what you said might be taken wrong. Hell, you have even more downvotes.

It's okay to be wrong, dude. We're not right wing nut jobs who will hold it against you. Calm down, and think about it. You could've easily said, "My bad, I wasn't trying to offend anyone." And accepted the L. But now you look like a jackass.

Dude, there's a ton of that. Alot of people aren't a fan of Jersey, so its easy to conflate that.
