rktok cupid has allowed me to waste much time taking mindless tests during which i should have been productive. it has also reminded me of the stupid, the racial insensitivities, immigration hate, the oppressed whiddle white man's angst.
There is way to much political correctness.
Midgets have to be called little people, which is more derogatory than just calling them PEOPLE.
Folks can't call a Native American an Indian anymore, even though that is what they were commonly called for hundreds of years.
Folks can't call a Negro a black man anymore, they must be called an African American, even though their ancestors have not set foot in Africa in generations.
Whites are now caucasion on any type of form you have to fill out.
Folks of Mexican descent have to be called Mexican Americans, even though they have never set foot south of the border.
If you legally immigrate here and get your citizenship the right and legal way or if you are born here, then you are an AMERICAN.
You are not African American, Native American, Mexican American, Asian American or any other type American.
You are just an American.
If you work on an airplane serving drinks and otherwise being helpful and leading passengers in a crisis, etc. you are a Stewardess or Steward, get over yourself and stop demanding folks call you a Flight Attendant.
If you work in a restraunt serving patrons their food and taking orders and keeping that coffee cup full, you are not a Server or Customer Service Specialist, you a Waiter or Waitress, deal with it or find another line of work.
If you are small in stature, face it you are short, it has nothing to do with being Verically Challenged. Get some platform shoes like Kim Jong Il or a step ladder or some step stools and deal with it.
If you are of enormous girth because you simply cannot push yourself away from the table or are too damned lazy to get off your huge ass and exercise. Then guess what unless your girth is caused by a disease such as diabetes or some other disorder, you are just a fat bastard/bitch. If you don't want called fat, then drop those cheetos, get up off your fat ass and do something about it.
The above are a mere drop in the bucket of the politically correct bullshit we are all exposed to every day.
It is time to stop catering to the whiny assed losers who think the world owes them something. The world doesn't owe you a damned thing.
You are people just like everyone else, your ethnicity, your weight, your hieght, your job, your eyeglasses...........none of these things make you more or less special than anyone else. So stop expecting that these things make you more or less special.
for bonus angst, check out his profile. (straight) ladies, he's a real catch! which is to say, only click any of the above if you're willing to have, at the very least, your eyes bleed.
seriously though, what makes me sad is that he thinks he probably thinks he's better than KKK-type folks. someone's always gotta be better than someone else, i suppose.
the man-child should really check himself and realize that the world doesn't owe him a damn thing.

Re: :)
Date: 2006-10-31 05:57 am (UTC)you're white + you live in a white-majority country = you're racist. if for no other reason than the fact you are inherently benefited by the colour of your skin. (which, yes, means i fall into that category as well.) you can either deny it and continue in it or work to, at the very least, change and challenbe yourself.
I'm not a racist person, in my point of view, the colour of your skin, your sexuality, your religion, these dont mean very much, to me, you are a person, a unique and beautiful butterfly. Just like everyone else.
sounds an awful lot like you're saying "but i'm colourblind". and, well, reality doesn't work that way. being colourblind means denying a person's reality, current and past experiences, heritage, culture, etc. that's not fair to you or those you're (not) seeing.
so, yes, discrimination is bullshit. but it happens. and it happens to folks who "benefit" from "political correctness" far more often than said folks either a_receive "special perks" or b_"benefit from political correctness"
