Excellent comment. I would say that I am getting to the point if someone was put-out by a genuine compliment or friendly question I would be tempted to tell them to bugger off. Laughing and walking away is more polite, maybe.
But you bring up an idea that someone well-known and regarded once said-"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."
Regardless of all the hullabaloo about who's oppressed and who's privileged, I don't see how you can go wrong with this credo.
