Say NO to racism!
Yes they do, and that's totally disgusting. Your talking about sex traffickers I assume, these animals go out and kidnap random girls ranging from 10-25 yrs of age from around the world and force them at gun point into prostitution and ship them across the world forcibly.... It's the most horrid thing I've ever heard of, they have those poor women brainwashed through fear to not say anything. Sometimes they take small children of either gender into sex trafficking also, it's a really filthy evil disgusting business and honestly it should be a national priority to shut these filthy cretans out.
History repeats itself. But you missed the whole point i was making, it was attacking political correctness on a logical basis, I agree all people should have equal rights, but my point was that political correctness merely pampered historically less priveledged people and demonized historically dominant people. My point is, I can't control what my forefathers did, as evil as their actions were I'm not responsible for THEIR actions. Political correctness is pretty much like saying if your a white male heterosexual your the scum of the earth, it looks at all form of discrimination in an invertedly biggoted tinge. I use logic as a refferree and it's a far more progressive way of thinking. Let your mind be your vessel of exploration and let your heart be your anchor. Progressive thinking begins with logic and ends with compassion. A deep respect for life must be earned, but an even deeper respect for freedom..... Now, freedom comes with responsibility, total freedom is just insane and chaotic. Ah s**t lol, I'm going out on one of my aspie drifting blind string rants again lol, my bad I'm kinda red eyed and burned out ya know;) um...... I'll write back tommarrow lol

Granted. I would have thought that demonising Caucasians or males would be covered by the same principles opposing demonising people of African descent or females. I see some of your points. Of course freedom comes with responsibility and what you refer to as "total freedom" is insane and chaotic. All rights should be accompanied by responsibilities. I did not notice anyone advocating anarchy here (well, not seriously anyway). What must a life do to "earn" deep respect? I would be interested in talking further with you on these matters.

Mmm...I'm a bit late but never mind.
If we have a word: say 'donkey' that is completly offensive then sure change it
If the politically-correct subsuite 'mule' doesn't set out to offend or be offensive, then fine.
But if we end having to call the mule a horse, y'know, that's a bit far-fetched.
1.Mules and horses have different numbers of chromosomes
2.They're different things.
3.Horses can reproduce, mules are barren.

But mules and donkeys are different as well. And "donkey" if not used literally but as an insult, is generally considered relatively mild (I realise it was only used as an example). So in this context, what precisely is your point?

*name that reference!
How does stereotyping aid survival? Do you mean generalising from experience in order to learn to avoid certain like nausea-inducing plants or white hot metal? Stereotyping seems to use generalisations based more on hearsay, though presumably trusting the warnings of others about plants, hot metal or predators may once have been a useful asset since distorted. Also the characterisation of an entire ethnic group could be based on experience of one or possibly a few unpleasant individuals and generalising from this experience, rather than simply hearsay. Or an unbalanced media presentation of only some of the pertinent facts (again similar to hearsay, but with an element of "witnessing" something visually). Anyway, basically I agree with you concerning your opposition to racial hatred.
stereotyping lets us know to avoid cuddly lions because they're dangerous. similarly, stereotyping also would let us know about enemies. i'm talking ages old survival....most likely pre-civilization or right around the dawn of civilization.
around the same time faith developed. which is also an evolutionary development....but faith is a coping mechanism, not a survival mechanism.

My point is that political correctness is all very well and good BUT we shouldn't need to call things by what they're not. If people get offended over certain things, tough.

I thought so, but could you use some examples? Not analogies, examples.

The classic statement trotted-out by brain-dead lefties is that "all people are the same". They'll then go on to deny that there are any genetic or physiological differences between indigenous individuals from different continents. That is clearly absurd; yet, it's the sort of crap kids are indoctrinated with in UK schools.
Related to this thread, but not so much your post, is the following:
http://politics.guardian.co.uk/conservatives/story/0,,2029424,00.html?gusrc=rss&feed=1#article_continue
A senior member of the Conservative party, a chap called Mercer, was sacked by its effete limp-wristed leader, Mr Cameron, for stating what most people know, and don't have a problem with, yet political correctness prevents them from stating. Mr Cameron, not having the balls to stand up to the PC brigade took the easy way out — just state something or someone is "racist" and that's that; end of discussion. Afterall, anyone defending a "racist" surely must be one themselves! Cameron's a disgrace to this country; hanging's too good for him.
Anyway, here's an excerpt from Mercer:
I've never served in the armed forces, but have worked in male-dominated environments with ex-military people, back and white, and have experienced the same thing happening. I don't see a problem with it. It's just part of normal banter. Why the hell should ethnic minorities get preferential treatment because of their skin colour when white British people are afforded no such privilege because of their hair colour or physique?

Gladly.
Btw, I live in the U.K so yeh, PC has gone overboard here.
Let's see
'Brain storm'
OVERZEALOUS PC PERSON-TYPE-THINGY: No, you can't call it that. It's offensive to people with ellipesy. You have to call it a 'mind map'
Since I'm still in school, for a few hours a day, I have to abide by the latest 'adult craze'
So here they are telling us about having to call it a mindmap.
THEN they ask the people with ellipesy. Turns out, they're not bothered.
And we're now supposed to call them 'spider diagrams'. There's a difference. That's like calling a art assignment a doodle or vice versa.

Agreed, because most of the time people who get offended by stating prooven facts are only getting offended because theyr defending their prejudice. Examples, the religious right, also Nation of Islam leaders like Al Sharpton and Louis Farrakhan. Theyr hypocrites, hell they all of a sudden decided Obama wasn't black because he didn't follow their race-baiting anti-white rhetoric. As a matter of fact Farrakhan likely had Malcom X killed because of Malcom's new message of inter-racial unity when he returned from Mecca. Actually Malcom's new message exteneded even beyond race and into other sub-divisions. Feminazi's have a similar attitude though, if a woman disagrees with their biggotry, they'll all of a sudden deem her a traitor to women. Just like how the Nation of Islam denounced Obama as a black man. Hell look at the fanatical christians, theyr empire is beginning to crumble in america because they've hit a point where too many of them are disagreeing with one another, even though theyr all nutcases.
As for stereotypes, there are some rules that go into place for me. Stereotyping a group on the whole isn't that big an issue, because most stereotypes exist for a reason, that theyr true to some extent. But one should realise that a stereotype is nothing more than a generalization, and by no means should people stereotype an individual person. An individual might not fit a stereotype, or even any of their stereotypes. But in the large group setting, often many members will meet stereotypes.
Non-defamative stereotypes shouldn't really be looked down so much on though, like for example, gays eating strawberry shortcake, blacks eating soul food, Irish eating potatoes, yes, generally these stereotypes are to a degree true or they wouldn't exist, but they'r not hurting anyone. If a gay guy likes strawberry shortcake, then by all means eat it, same for blacks and soul food or Irish and potatoes. These are general stereotypes, and should not be taken so seriously. The other type of stereotype is a negative stereotype.
Negative stereotypes are based around character attributes such as ignorance, hostility, hatred, and apathy.
As far as race is concerned, this is a bit controversial but I feel it is true, there is a difference between a white person and a cracker, and there is a difference between a black person and a n****r. If someone meets every negative stereotype under the book, lets say an example of a cracker is some flag-waving redneck who is all gung ho about forcing america into a theocratic mindset, then he is a cracker, he is just like all the others who pushed the witch trials, slavery, stealing of America from American Indians, etc.
On the same note, if a black person fits all their negative stereotypes, is lazym ignorant, racist, hypocritical, violent, crack smoking, well-fare bleeding, excuse-making, blaming their problems on "the white man" when they've never made half an effort to do anything for themselves, then that person is a n****r. A n****r is the one who talks trash about a successful black person because they say he/she "sold out" for getting a high paying career and making something of his/her life. BET breeds them because they'r constantly telling blacks that theyr only good for becoming basketball players, rappers, or dope dealers/gang bangers. So when a level headed black person succeeds in life, as a doctor, or a lawyer, or an accountant, etc, the n****rs tell them they "sold out", which is really a self-defeating mentality for blacks because it's being racist against themselves by selling themselves short. There isn't anything a white man can do that a black man can't do. And vice versa.
Basically, if a white person doesn't wanna be called a cracker, he shouldn't act like one. And, if a black person doesnt wanna be called a n****r, he shouldn't act like one. It's as simple as falling into negative stereotypes or not.
a person is racist when they are proud of their race.
what makes you so special because u are a certain type of color? right?
a person is racist AND a coward when they try to be other kind of race.it happens a lot in the usa.
we have to start mating with different races so we get rid of these breeds that like to keep the same,make new breeds,new humans,evolve into something different,i know it would solve the racism thing by a big percentage.
sometimes people dont like different races due to how the media(remember most people live by the orders of the TV) labels them in categories and makes us divide,its easier for them to control us.
peace
