I think that video is full of trash. |
I find so many politically correct terms are not even appropriate for what they are used for. For me I say if ye be Jamaican or Chinese so be it. We all are created with strengths and weaknesses both racially and individually so be it. I likely is because we grew up for generations under different climates demand us to adapt or change.
I loves me frozen mukluks because when some green tree lover gets in the way of my chain saw I can kick him real far away.
I was told if you can not say something nice say nothing at all. So I will just stick to it and will comment on a person as a person not assuming his or her traits for that race.
Nice people live every where.
If ye think we are born equal other then in human rights me thinks ye be blind. Shoot two fellas here have me beat by a hundred pounds of muscle. I have the same rights as they but when it comes time to move the fridge do look them up please!

One question about political correctness. Does anyone ask the people that are in the group that we call (place name/term of group here), like do we ask "little people" whether or not THEY what to be called a little person? The sad answer is no. Do you say about an average person, "There is Jeff, an average person"? If not, then why is it ok to refer to someone, "Jeff, a little person"¦ a handicapped person"¦ an obese person, etc . . ."

Good point Debate I also would like to add to that is this; If you have ten people from any particular sector they all will likely chose different tags they would like to wear. So how can you please them all?

Well I am one if Jeff is over weight or short or a different color of skin I would just say, "Hey there goes Jeff". That way I do not have to worry about him being offended unless he does not like his name. Then we may have a problem.
