"Ahhh yes, the Caucasian, Christian, heterosexual male. Possibly the most openly despised demographic in the free world."
More of the left's double standards. For years they've been telling us, words hurt, that innocent jokes aren't innocent. The NCAA bans mascots that they find insulting.
Yet, jokes about white guys are ok. White men constantly are portrayed on television as bumbling fools or losers. Stereotypes about whites are rampant and enjoyed by all.
And where is the NCAA when it comes to the Notre Dame Fighting IRISH?!
I'm sick of it. I used to find liberals amusing. Now, I am angry. Not sure if it's my age, or I've just had enough.
I'm in advertising--hence the name. I refuse to create ads featuring the "dumb white guy." Next time you watch TV just look at how many ads feature some "dumb white guy" getting shown up by some smart black man or woman, or white woman or kid. It's so insulting. If I weren't in the business, I'd write the advertiser and tell them. As it is, I just refuse to write those type of ads, or buy products that feature the "dumb white guy."
Amen!! A couple of evenings ago my husband and I were watch a re-re-repeat of America's Funniest Home Videos. Some were funny, some cute, and some just plain dumb. But there was one thing that troubled me more and more as the show progressed was the number of videos featuring -- how can I put this delicately? -- [white] men getting hurt below the waist. There were 4 of these "funny" videos.
And the second to the last one was a film of a little [white] boy about 8 or so at what looked to be a petting zoo. Yup, you guessed it. It was clear the kid was crying not only in surprise/fear but in pain, but how the audience just roared with laughter!
I turned to my husband and said, "You know, this wasn't all that funny to start, and it's really not funny now. You'd think they'd ever show a video of a woman getting hit in the breast with a baseball or a golf ball? Would that be considered funny? Then why..."
And my husband, seeing I was about to get up on the old soap box, fell back on the tried-and-true "Yes,dear. I agree. Yes, dear. Look. A commerical. I'm goin' to the bathroom."
Your points are right on and to add to it.......what do you suppose the %'s are on these TV shows where the rapist, murderer or general slimeball is portrayed by a white guy vs. an oriental, mexican, or black guy. My guess is it has to be about 90-95% white vs. the others.......I've never seen an oriental or once in a blue moon a mexican or black as the key villain.
The question is why?......my thoughts are that there has been a very subtle conditioning process going on for some time to leave many people with the impression that white males are nothing more than beer swilling, fat, dumpy, clueless or limpwristed fools to be ridiculed and dumped on. We see it in commercials, TV and movies continuously and I believe the reason it's happening more and more is that those that manipulate the media see white males as the most viable threat to their PC correct, global/communistic style of governance they wish to impose on us.
Like you , I have had enough of Leftist PC demands, university elitism, every liberal speciality group like the Black, Red, Yellow,Brown Caucuses, every Civil Rights made-up groups hemming and hawing about how America is just Fascist, and even government affirmative action and PC legislation which would include a hate crime in the designation of so called gay bashing if a church did not hire such a homosexual. Enough is enough. But, unless we have students, other conservprofs, writers, and especially brave pols speaking out against PC nonsense, the courts under lefty administrative rule will hem in our freedoms one by one all in the name of Political Correctness.
