Google Messes It Up Again (or, the Endangered White-Male Species)
11/11/2015 | By Laz A. Mataz

First, let's give props to Google for recognizing Veterans Day at all. They have a history of failing to recognize traditional American holidays.

That said, let us take a look at the Google Doodle they presented us:

See anything missing? I sure do.

No white males. From left to right: A brown-skinned elderly male (presumabley light-black or hispanic). A white female. An black male. A hispanic male. A yellow-skinned male (presumably asian). A black female. A woman who is either white or light-hispanic.

White males are now the only acceptable ignored and persecuted class.

If they are to hold us to such exacting racial equality standards, WE SHALL HOLD THEM TO THE SAME!

BRING BACK THE WHITE MALE!

I feel so microaggressed. Perhaps I shall retire to a safe-zone and wrap a blanky around me and eat cookies and color with crayons.

It’s confirmational bias. If you WANT to be marginalized then everything pushes you in the margin. If that’s not your life goal then you can clearly see 2 white males in the doodle and NO marginalization.

You got one part right though, it IS an indication. It’s just not indicating what you think. It’s indicating how much effort some people are willing to put into being offended.

You know, I have to ask people what they expect a comeback would even LOOK like. Wouldn’t you pass through some territory where you had been, before you got to an even worse place?

Or are they expecting a magic fairy to instantly make everything perfect?

If the “Pollyanna” caricature and whipping girl meme achieved anything, it was to factor “relationship with God according to His promises” out of people’s pictures.

SMH.

You really are clueless, aren’t you? :)

You do not ‘get me’ *at all*.

Oh I get you. I just don’t think you’re funny. Which shows just how well I get you.

“I still say I see God moving.”

He’s moving alright! Towards the last seven years of man ruled history called the Tribulation, where every gov’t submits to ONE MAN. This is exactly how it’s done in sovereign homogeneous nations that must be brought to their knees (Like Western Europe).

Maybe because it was drawn by some google employee’s 4th grade child (who is a good artist for a 4th grader, but not a paid professional one would expect from such a wealthy company as giggle).

You’re the constant sarcasm clown and you probably don’t really have a mean bone in your body. You just put that on for a schtick.

But that brings up some things really worth looking at seriously, however.

I do not care if I make you laugh. I only care if I make ME laugh.

So you do not get me at all, after all.

In before the Coast Guard continues to be marginalized and ignored all the way through the apocalypse.
I’m sending Obama a letter about this >:/

I get it - you want to make this about me, but that won’t change what is so obvious to everyone else.

How are you sure that a Nineveh-like episode is not, at least, to intervene?

Some people say EEK the apocalypse every single time some foreign leader sneezes, and it really gets old. Calling wolf has a detrimental effect to true preparation as well.

Actually, I do have ONE mean bone.

Just ask my last g/f. :)

Like Rush, I like to demonstrate absurdity by being absurd. Underneath the absurdity, is often a salient point.

I pointed that out to my kids.
You never see a strong, competent, able, good white guy.
He’s either good but bumbling/incompetent, good and outright stupid, bad but sometimes tolerable, or bad.
If there is a white mother, she can be competent and in charge.
If the father is non-white, like a black couple or mixed race couple with a dark skinned father, HE can be competent. The Fear the Walking Dead was an epitome of that.

And fine... but once the court jester finishes his act, then the king and advisors need to get together and decide what to do.

If it agrees with what you know, it is not an attack.

If it doesn’t, then I am rebuking lies.

That's above my Pay Grade.

Nope. YOU made it about you:
Call me hypersensitive but I don’t particularly like being intentionally marginalized in a country my forbears fought and died to create.

I’m simply pointing out that the marginalization is coming ENTIRELY FROM YOU.

Really it’s about 2 simple questions:
How many white males have to be in the picture for you to not feel marginalized?
Why do you let a stupid google doodle effect your sense of self worth?
