Canis Trucido	Posted - 2009.01.21 18:34:00 - [1] I recently discovered a unique quirk in PC logic. It is now racially derrogetory to call someone 'Jewish', 'Mexican', or 'Black'. Even if they are those things. Why?I recently said "I am a supporter of the Jews in Isreal" and a couple peopel exploded, i remember one person saying "Im sick and tired of these anti-semites, jew this,jew that, im sick of it!" Im just scared now, what else is not PC?!
7shining7one7 Gallente Aliastra	Posted - 2009.01.21 18:44:00 - [2] 10/10 for irony of being called an anti semite for saying you support the jews in israel

Marisal	Posted - 2009.01.21 18:54:00 - [4] Political correctness gone mad again, you can't refer to someone's race, culture, lifestyle, hairstyle because someone may interpret as an insult. Tbh its gonna lead to more problems than it solves because ppl will get set in certain opinions then never talk about them or learn wether their incorrect because everyone will be afraid to talk about them because of been politically correct. Communication is the only way to solve the ills of the world heck as a species its the only reason we've managed to go from Ughh me kill mammoth to woah we're walking on the moon.
Sokratesz Rionnag Alba Triumvirate.	Posted - 2009.01.21 19:09:00 - [5] Here you get called an anti semite as soon as you utter a word of compassion for the people in Gaza. Your cap ship deserves CPR's!

Slade Trillgon Masuat'aa Matari Ushra'Khan	Posted - 2009.01.21 19:40:00 - [8] I work with black people in the general population and I call them black. They at least do not express any outward insult for it. For an example of something I may say on a regular day, "Since your are black you currently have an increased risk of CV disease." If I was politically correct this is what I would have to say, "Since the dominant traits you express are of African origin you currently have an increased risk of CV disease." I hope they appreciate my tendency to be very blunt. Slade

Generally when trolling, one posts things they expect the majority of the community to disagree with. This individual, the OP, appears to have done the opposite. When you work a lot with people from minorities, you quickly find it's not something you can not ignore. In before Ralara.

Blastil	Posted - 2009.01.21 22:10:00 - [16] Now see, its Anti-Semitic because you didn't support the Jews OUTSIDE of Israel.

goodby4u Valor Inc.	Posted - 2009.01.21 22:14:00 - [18] Forget the name but there is this book I read once, basically words like"black"and"white"became so bad when said that it was a punishable offense.... They replaced such words with"night"and"day". Personally I am getting tired of it aswell, I mean im part jewish and I can sit through racist jokes of my race and laugh, I dont know why so many people feel the need to be so thin skinned.

Dau Imperius Amarr	Posted - 2009.01.21 22:50:00 - [21] Coming from Jewish blood myself I'll happily tell people I have a big nose, and pick pennies off the ground sometimes. Maybe it's not they're too sensitive, it's that they are to stupid to realise that PC doesn't = all words are bad. It's the context that matters and most people can't actually 'think' beyond what is spoon fed to them. All you said was that you support a people in thier country. It's like saying you support the Buddists in China. Meh anyways, I support the Amarrians in Athe Empire and the Caldari in the State. See how easy that was to NOT misinterpret. Go EVE for education.

Canis Trucido	Posted - 2009.01.21 22:59:00 - [23] im glad everyone here knows what im talking about. it really bothers me for some reason. All I know is, if someone ever calls me raciest, I have a type of parachute ripcord: my girlfriend is black. Haha, I win again! BTW, anyone else get a little angry when someone is called 'african-american'? Two things wrong, first, they've likely arent from africa, they were born right here in america. Second, not all black's parents came from afrrica, my girlfriend is jamaican. just food for thought.
Imperator Jora'h	Posted - 2009.01.21 23:11:00 - [24] Ignore the Politically Correct fascists. You need to refer to people/groups. You need to use language. If it is relevant to the topic at hand that someone is Blue or Green then say so. Context is everything and most people of whatever origin/background/belief do not object to being referred to as such. It is what you have to say about that group that will matter to them. Not that you referred to that group by their common name. Obviously some words are pejorative but we should all know what those are by now and easily avoid them. If someone gets bent out of shape over it tell them to stuff it and get on with life. It is their problem, not yours. In fact you can have a field day making fun of such people to their faces for their idiocy if you are of a mind to (can be great fun). -------------------------------------------------- "Of course," said my grandfather, pulling a gun from his belt as he stepped from the Time Machine, "there's no paradox if I shoot you!"

People need to grow up and realize that we can't all be nice to each other. Political correctness is killing us (the US in particular, dunno about other countries), and I find that being PC is more of a hindrance than a help. P.S. I think this is like the first time I have agreed with above poster xD

Im just scared now, what else is not PC?! Do what I do. Don't speak directly of people. Afterall, I dont give a ** if your black, white, purple, christian, muslim, jew or **. Your a human being that lives on this planet, all the other garbage as to your faith or race doesn't matter. It isn't possible to make any sort of judgement based on that so its of no concern. If someone mentions that they are one of those things, I ask why that matters depending on the context of the discussion. Moral of the story: Who cares if someone is whatever they are. It's easier to call someone by name or use a safe term like This guy or girl I know.

Vabjekf	Posted - 2009.01.22 03:49:00 - [33] PC is there to give the majority ammunition to use against other people in the majority by saying how insensitive they are to the minorities. Like when parents fight with each other using the kid.
Digital Solaris	Posted - 2009.01.22 03:55:00 - [34] I called a swedish guy for snowngger once. The hilarious part was that he got really upset with me, not because he was black which he wasn't, but the fact I called him snowngger when he was white. I hate swedes and I hate the fact I am swedish too... -god made me a cannibal to end problems like you-

MooKids Caldari Dark Echo Engineering	Posted - 2009.01.22 04:23:00 - [37] I usually don't like using certain PC words, like (blank)-American because it makes assumptions about the person, which is unfair. Take for example calling this man (Maddoxx reference) an African American. Figure it out. -------------------------------- CCP can patch away bugs, but they can't patch away stupidity.

KingsGambit Caldari Knights	Posted - 2009.01.22 09:28:00 - [42] What rawr cristina said. The problems arise when we have so many diverse peoples in one place. You can't be sure what someone of a particular culture/origin will think of a behaviour or sentence as it's not your own. It's not even the majority of people either, just a stupid minority who are part of the 'litigation culture' and will "sue yo' ass" for looking at them wrong. We all have to tread on egg-shells because of those damned few. The thing is you can't know who will and won't be offended by what, so the need to be diplomatic and 'polictically correct', bollox tho it might be, has grown from that. I don't believe as the OP suggested that using jewish, mexican, black, chinese, indian, etc, etc can be considered offensive, and anyone who takes offense from those should be considered foolish. They simply describe a person's racial group with no implied insult. The difference is when (no offence intended here) jew becomes yd, black becomes n**r, etc, etc. I think we also simply need be careful with strangers and 'the public'. With friends it's pretty safe. When you know someone, their quirks and sense of humour, etc well enough those barriers don't much matter. My friends make fun of my culture plenty and I laugh at it too, occasionally offering jokes up at my own expense. And I don't hesitate to remind my friend he's going out with an essex girl, laugh at how another pronounces things with their accent, and so on. My g/f is scottish and can readily laugh at her own quirks as I do. But I wouldn't personally consider doing that with a stranger until I felt I knew them well enough that it wouldn't give offense. Tips I've picked up over the years...never ask a scotsman if he's from England, a Candian if they're American or a kiwi if they're from Oz. And it's always open season on the french (joking...I wouldn't be that* un-PC...or would I? ). Check out brilliant comedians like Stephen K Amos and Dara O'Briain, hilarious sketches that show you can laugh at our differences.
Reven Cordelle Caldari School of Applied Knowledge	Posted - 2009.01.22 10:10:00 - [43] Political Correctness is what happens when people in positions of power get caught up in pointless bull** from people being to thin-skinned to just take comments and ignore them. People these days are way too finicky, You'll rarely get someone who just "gets on with it". They will always complain and try and someone up for their own inability to face life and its flaws. The day people just **ing grow up will be the day hell freezes over.

I think that I can confidently state that PlunderBunny's captaincy of the EVE team at the 2012 Trollympics is an almost forgone conclusion.
Verone Gallente Veto Corp	Posted - 2009.01.22 15:05:00 - [45] Originally by: Canis Trucido Are people becoming too sensitive?quote] Yes, and it's damn annoying that the PC brigade, especially in the UK, are battering everything and everyone who isn't completely and utterly politically correct constantly.
Slade Trillgon Masuat'aa Matari Ushra'Khan	Posted - 2009.01.22 21:33:00 - [46] I was in the hospital this morning and here is the scene. Two black ladies behind the registration desk. One black male nurse to the right of the desk. Me, white, at the front of the desk and a white lady behind me. The white lady was talking with the nurse. He said he just back from some sunny vacation. The white lady said something and then said "it is nice to get darker". The black guy said with a smile on his face, "I am black, I do not tan". I look at the black women behind the desk and I say, "you can always get a little darker". Everyone had a chuckle. Take that as you may.

I also find the petty vindictive tribal fracas of numerous peoples across this planet as a worrying trend that seems to have no end, execpt in the ramping up of hate and pain that they inflict on each other. please convert to our religion and finaly start to understand the futility of any religion of any physical God above the Planck Length. Live your life, try to be honest and nice to yourself and others, and the world will become a better place for all of us to live in. Please remember that we currently have only '1' Planet to live on, if you break it, we all suffer. (Don't forget breakages will be paid for!)
