I get so sick of these idiots today thinking that everything about everything is a certain word used below. So here's my Top 5 Abused Words in Modern Culture. (Note: This stems from watching news and reading articles relating to people getting their way by claiming on of the following).
5. Offensive: Everyone thinks everything is offensive and it's really stupid. Take people that sue over people using the word 'Jesus' at Macy's. It's not against the law to display a person's name. Yet, lawsuits persist because they're 'offended'. Well, I'm offended by stupid people, so where's my piece of that pie?
4. Stereotype: Seriously, no matter what you say, everyone stereotypes. I don't have a problem with stereotyping because it's just like an identity to a group of people. Doesn't mean it's racist. The problem I really have is how it's preserved. "Oh, he said Asian people are smart? That stereotypical person.". Yet again, back to religion, you can say "Christians are the nut jobs." and that's okay. Completely one-sided tolerance.
3. Politically Correct: That term I started hearing after high school and it is just really stupid. "Happy Holidays" not "Merry Christmas". Again, people throw lawsuits over this. I would like to point out that suing over that is against out Constitution (Freedom of Religion). It only states about seperation of Church State is with government not making a certain religion the "main religion".
2. Racism: Man, everything today seems to be racist. Sony PSP ads (lol), TV shows, according to Kayne West, Bush hates black people. I've even been accused of racism for asking a black person if they like their coffee black or if they wanted chicken for lunch. What happens when a white person screams it? *laughter*
1. Discrimination: Face it, people. No one is really discriminated against these days. Realistically, not from what you hear. I mean, if anything, a white male is the most discriminated person these days. I've seen a commercial for "Black Only" job fairs before (I live in Texas). I think it's a bit unfair with the 'affirmitive action'. But I don't really care about that. I care about how if it's on the other foot, it's discrimination, but if I claim it, I'm just being ridiculous or 'racist'.
