:wub: you political correctness.

It's at times like these I wish you could hear me speaking in stead of me posting. I can't put the same kind of emotion in my sentences this way.
Anyway, on to the topic: I think people tend to live by certain rules after a while, but that's not what I wanted to discuss. one of these rules is for example the second world war, something we're all supposed to think of as bad and evil, because we're raised to do so. another one of these rules is about racism. we can't discriminate. but some people, in their overly-political correctness, really go too far. example:

This happened at the school I go to a few months ago. there was this black girl sitting next to her white friend during maths class. coincidentally, she was wearing a black T-shirt, while her friend was wearing a white one. and here comes the teacher, with one of his always-witty remarks: "hey , what a coincidence, black and white!."

Now, of course this wasn't funny, as the guy just doesn't have any humour.
But this is the funny part: the black girl got angry at him, and her friend supported her. together they stormed out, calling the teacher racist! HE CALLED A BLACK GIRL BLACK! OMFG!

What's with these kind of situations people? imagine a stand-up comedian. the entire crowd is white, except for one guy. the comedian needs a volunteer for something, and he wants the black guy. If he'd say: "hey you, with the red T-shirt!", there wouldn't be a problem. the guy was indeed wearing a red T-shirt. but if he'd say: "hey you, the black guy!" he be RACIST! WHY?! on the other hand, if the entire crowd would be black, and there'd be one white guy, there wouldn't be a problem picking him with a "the white guy"

So. what do you think? any experience with this?

it happens all the time probably the slavery thing and black people taking advantage of it just to get more rights than us white folk by getting the right to get pissed off at the mention of a colour things like this just get me angry people just need to get alot less sensitive you can't even mention about a thousand things that should be alright to talk about because of this over sensitivity and people taking advantage of actual problems for personal gain or simply enjoyment or in the case you just mentioned over sensitivity and stupidity on the white friends part for supporting this

Guys, please move to Axeman's thread about the same subject, there are more people there, and we shouldn't have two threads about the same thing. http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=176259
