Answer the question posed and then you may see.

Wait, so you're suggesting they're "exactly the same" because people feel disrespected by both?

Yea, that doesn't hold up given exactly what I said about one group being the direct subject of the perceived offense and one group not being the direct subject of the perceived offense. 

Native Americans being offended by the use of Native American slurs and images as mascots requires no degrees of separation. On the other hand, veterans being offended that people are kneeling during the national anthem which is about an earlier version of the flag that they feel a personal connection to because of their service has at least two degrees of separation.
