politically correct white people

there's almost an underlying premise that difference = bad so any suggestions that there are differences leads to people going lala and putting their fingers in their ears. The same thing happens if some study suggests men are better than women at something; a sizable section of the population shits their pants upon hearing it.

Political correctness is now and shall be the bane of our future existance.

 

It's a tactic to be used as a distraction (there are many of these) so we don't talk about what we really should be talking about.

Instead we get caught up on smaller issues like, sex, race and gender.

i take it back. troon is the worst thing ever.

what did troon say right here that made him the worst thing ever? Probably the only intelligent statement in the whole damn thread. Zaphod you are a fucking idiot.

Troon is absolutely right, perhaps it was started with good intentions, but like most of the horrid social obstacles we have to overcome these days, it developed into a catch-all to be used to pry oneself over another in a debate. Don't like the facts the opponent is dropping on ye? Drop the PC bomb at the earliest convenient moment and watch the crowd immediately side with you because they feel like they should. It's almost as bad as making a Hitler/Nazi metaphor with anything these days.

FUCKING GAY FAGGOT NIGGERS

*chokes on latino tranny dick*

ya know, is it that hard for people to figure out there is a middle ground for things?

you all sound like my 80-year old grandfather, taking it from one extreme to the other out of the frustration of knowing his entire life was completely unfulfilled.

thanks man

just came in to pass along my two cents: chinamen

why don't you guys mull over that one for a bit.

edit: I think i am taking this more seriously than I should be.

^ man she is soooo shit.

The world has gone PC mad. What about the good old days when the Brits hated the Irish and our terrorists blew up their kids. All this PC friendly shit, why can't we all become angry and ignorant again. And when did rape become such a bad thing too? Bloody pinko liberals.

Bet they'd see through my irony in seconds. I couldn't maintain that act for long tbh.

My favourite from the world of those who rail against the PC is the baa baa black sheep story. Every bloody year the Sun prints a story about some school that has banned it. And every bloody year those who read the Sun say this is outrageous. ITS ONLY FUCKING BAA BAA BLACK SHEEP. I mean sheesh if its banned, it's hardly a huge cultural loss. I think civilisation will struggle on without knowing how many bags of wool were full.

I love you, zaphod, but this is a very 1998ish rant.

This is where you are wrong. Most around here have no sense of irony at all.

PC is like the thought police. Thought crime in 1984.

PC keeps us thinking in a certain direction. keeps us focused on smaller issues. we must prioritize!

I think the world is better off with banning the Sun, that'll have positive cultural implications.

I was referring to where I actually am (the southeastern united states).

there is no difference in race, seeing as race doesn't actually exist. There is racialised thinking, which is fucked up. Same as gendered thinking.

There are huge differences in cultures around the world, and who would ever deny that?

apparently you because this is what we consider "race". No shit that we're all humans la-de-da but to completely ignore cultural and environmental factors (ie race) that made us who we are for the past few thousand years is pretty dumb.
