As for being PC, fuck that. I'm sick of all the uber-sensitive pussies trying to impose their feelings on everyone else. Those are the same type of people that want us to accept the fact that they are gay, transgender, etc.

On the other hand, the 75% of me that is Irish gets bent out of shape real quick when someone mentions St. Patrick's Day.

Back around 1981, I was having a conversation with this black girl at work and she was talking about rigging something up at home. My first thought was, "What does rigging mean?". Then it occurred to me, "Oh!! She mean's ni66er-rigging". Her terminology seemed strange to me. That was always a term I had used growing up and never thought of it as a deragatory term.

This would be real confusing for my son's daycare because the place is run by a couple of Pakistani ladies and most of the teachers are the same. Or Indian. They probably wouldn't know what the hell was going on if he said that.Originally posted by racrguyWhat's your beef with NPR, because their listeners are typically more informed than others?Originally posted by racrguyVoting is a constitutional right, overthrowing the government isn't.

Are any of you offended at all by this phrase, or is this more mindless liberal bullshit?
FWIW, the correcting party is a gradeschool teacher in San Diego, and she told me that she has her kids say something like "ankles under knees, on your bottom please" instead."Any dog under 50lbs is a cat and cats are pointless." - Ron Swanson
