Fuck yes, political correctness has gone WAY too far.

Badass

[TeeKup]

Not true in my group of friends. They all crack gay jokes every now and then around me and it doesn't bother me.

1. They're funny
2. I have a sense of humor.

But he is right about the majority of society though.

[ICEE]

Good for clint, I am in strong support of his opinion here. People insist on being so damn PC these days. Does anyone know a black person who is actually offended by being called 'black'? Making PC labels only creates a derogitory word out of a word that was never derogitory in the first place.


E: dont take my post the wrong way, I do recognize that some words were made for the purpose of insulting others based on their race, and I don't use those words.

Dunno if you realized it, but that paragraph is full of political correctness. If it wasn't for that, you wouldn't have to "explain" yourself over your first paragraph.

Thank you for proving Clint's point :D

Anyway, this goes along with what I'm researching: euphemisms. FUCK YEA.

I fucking despise closet fags who label you a faggot for making the occasional gay joke.:)

[Mr Buckshot]

Funny thing is, there's no such thing as a black person...there are millions of dark brown people of course :D. Similarly, unless you're an albino or suffer from vitiligo or any similar genetic conditions, you can never actually be white, you're more like...very faint mixture of beige and pink. As for me, I might have been called yellow a few decades ago, but I'm clearly not yellow. Where did people get the idea to label various skin colors as black, white, and yellow? Only brown is at least somewhat accurate.

Good call by Clint Eastwood. sup I'm chink and I like Jappo cars. Gonna study in da land of whites and negros, y0.

[TeeKup]

I don't know any closets fags.

I've brought like 2 out though. :downs:

[rossmum]

Clint Eastwood owns. PC has gone too fucking far.

[RobertGraham]

In my opinion, people are born the way they are. Nothing "turns" people gay. I think that people know from an early age on what they like and dislike. It's society that changes people, just trying to fit in with the crowd, and what the crowd says is bad, people think that's the way they need to be. In the end, it doesn't really matter, as long as you are happy with the the person you love.

Anyways, yes, politics are very dull and depressed these days. I can't say it isn't depressing. Try and spend an hour and a half, EVERY DAY, in Civics and Economics Class -.-'

And you got the idea that this was a discussion about what makes someone a homosexual where?

Agree with Clint, somewhat. Since people are generally idiots, and often don't know when something is appropriate, and how to take things in context, racial jokes tend to be shunned because they can get out of hand, and then really hurt somebody/spark up some hate. But I do agree that PC has gotten to a ridiculously retarded level.

That would be the teacher's fault, not the subject of the class.

Heh, euphemisms, I find it appropriate only sometimes.

But in all seriousness, it's a euphemism for euphemism. :fail:

[n00b1n8R]

Me and my group make politically incorect jokes all the time (I myself probably add more than my fair share).
Gordon McChina, Terrence/Matt/Flick the ranga, Lauran the wanabe ranga, Lauran #2 the dirty drugo, Matt the homo (who just got a girlfriend), etc.

It's a joke and we all know it. We probably do it deliberately just to do a sort of "stick it to the man".

And don't even get me started with the rampant faggotry me and merlin get up to. Or my constant hitting on my male teachers/refering to them as dad all the time.

[rossmum]

uhhhh

we had this one young student teacher once and she was fucking smoking hot and she used to sit on guys' desks or kneel down and lean over their work so the old cleavage would be right in their faces, not sure if she did it entirely deliberately but damn that spawned a lot of politically incorrect jokes and behaviour

[Syuusuke]

OLD cleavage?

Like to quote georgie porgie on an example on about euphemisms, "You don't have to be afraid of dying, you'll...pass away."

Most "white-to-black" racism is 'over'. Blacks are the most racist ethnic group in this country. We have to be "politically correct" because they always feel "offended". But quite honestly, (and here's the honest truth) minorities use racism as an excuse. They want to keep racism around just for that, even though they may think some jokes based upon race are funny, they use racism as an excuse. Therefore, it forces everyone else to be politically correct so they won't be "offended".

To tell the truth, the only kind of person that I've met that wasn't racist or prejudiced in some sort of way was a retarded person.

I think we both misunderstood each other. I meant... ah screw it. But I see your point.

[p0lar_bear]

There should be a law that one can open fire on another individual who plays the race/religion/gay card without a damn good reason (e.g. counter-trolling).

Just last week, there was this middle-aged black lady at the Target I work at. At the same time she hops in line at the registers, someone's little kid goes missing, so the team puts out a "Code Yellow." The bitch decided to play the race card and make a fucking SCENE over it, telling everyone that "Code Yellow" meant that there was a black person getting in line, and that Target is racist and that everyone should drop their merch and leave. Kept it up even as she was going out to her car.

:fail:

me and my friends are the most vulgar, most politically uncorrect people, because we all believe in one phrase; "FUCK POLITICS"

well PC regarding African-Americans is unavoidable anyway, due to the pretty rough history they've had since the 1700s. Though I am surprised at what you said, I had thought African-Americans were suffering from the most racism, not being the most racist...very interesting issue you brought up.

And LOL @ how everyone thought RE5 was racist...(remember that trailer?)...the stupidity of those people was unbelievable. I myself am a big fan of Splinter Cell despite the fact that all of them have featured an Asian guy as a villain, e.g. the renegade Chinese general in the first game or Otomo in chaos theory. I never viewed even one of them as racist because it was very clear that they were saying "it's just one group of crazy Asians, not the entire race." So why couldn't people see that "it's just zombies, not real people?"

You cool. Politics are stupid everywhere I've lived.

In all honesty, that is a stupid post. For 2 decades I've experienced white on black racism everywhere I've gone, and a very minimal "reverse racism".

[rossmum]

I see a lot of both, though not so much with black people as aside from our own Aborigines we don't have many. Personally I just hate everyone equally and regard them all as idiots until proven otherwise, works for me

[jngrow]

And LOL @ how everyone thought RE5 was racist...

Well, it isn't that it's directly racist, but a lot of the imagery (i.e. Chris whatever stomping on a black woman's face, looking pretty much horrible to any outside observer who didn't know what is happening in the game) is something that shouldn't be ignored. If not for being offensive in general, it can hurt the rep of videogames as a whole.

Wrong mentality to have. People shouldn't overtly go against it just because it displays one thing. People need to learn to research what they see before they make judgements.

Yeah I heard about that, that was just stupid (referring to the sensitive asian). I saw the picture, didn't see anything racist in there. It's just a god damn joke.

I'm wondering if that asian woman was born in America though...it would explain a lot...just kidding haha.

Politics must be derived from the world "poly", meaning "many," and the word "ticks," meaning "blood sucking parasites."

That's my theory.

That fucking shower scene however really is powerfully disturbing.

[Corndogman]

Was it the good kind of shower scene?

[Mr Buckshot]

Speaking of movies whose themes central on American racial divides, I'd say American History X (1998) was definitely the best of them all, followed by Crash (2004). Edward Norton's character doing that curbstomp on the black thief was...horrifying yet intriguing.

Good to know that overly sensitive racial groups didn't try to stage riots over those movies. While racism is still a problem in that country, I'd say it's far less severe than it was a few decades ago. Though iirc, the place where I used to live in California hardly had any African-Americans (lots of Latinos though).
