So I should be upset if somebody calls me a white guy? Not meaning to disparage, but methinks this is far less than a tempest in a teapot! What an insignificant thing to be upset about - LOL!

If someone is black, white, red, yellow or brown (the five anthropologically defined "race" groupings), aren't they black, white, red, yellow or brown? What would they like to be called, if not black, white, red, yellow or brown?

Maybe lifestyle should be the identifying factor, so we can say socialist liberal pondscum, or faggot, or racist, or criminal, or (worse yet) politician, or WHAT????

Perhaps the underlying political correctness, PC being an abomination in its own right, is the real problem. It's the same dufus idiocy which prevents profiling when profiling is so obviously applicable (let's see, should I search the little old 80 y-o white grandmother or the male of mideastern decent between 17 and 40 years of age?).

Hmmmmm!

Well, you are missing some of the point... not all of it, but some of it.

I don't really care if someone is using the phrase "Redskin". While I personally don't like it, I don't see the need to launch a court battle to stop someone from using it.

Secondly, I agree with the whole PC thing being out of control...
