[ConservativeStatement]

President Obama signed into law today a measure to replace references to minorities considered offensive -- such as "oriental" and "negro" from federal law.

The legislation, sponsored by Rep. Grace Meng, D-New York, is an effort to "modernize terms relating to minorities," replaces a slew of terms in a public health law written in the late 1970's with terms are considered more politically correct today.

What a petty tyrant. With the problems looming over our heads he focuses on ridiculous little tirades.

[dsrtsage]

Excellent, we can get rid of a useless scholarship. Because it is a terrible thing to lose ones mind, how true that is.

[Steely Tom]

Symbolism.

[lee martell]

Playing with words. Meanwhile, creating chaos in school rest rooms. Obama will not be happy till all other Americans are unhappy. Misery loves company.
Maybe Obama is a Hindu who uses Kali, the Goddess of Destruction as his figure of inspiration. Kali is never happy.

[clearcarbon]

That’s damned Orwellian of him, or maybe just obamian.

[EinNYC]

WOW, now THIS is important! ISIS is murdering people in the most heinous ways a twisted mind could devise, our military is being destroyed, North Korea is working on their nuclear capability, Iran is leaping for joy at $150 billion of OUR tax money being handed to them to sponsor more terrorism and develop more nuclear bombs, MORE sick illiterate criminal illegals are being planted all over the U.S. by this piece of stinking liquid excrement, college campuses have become foci of ridiculous laughable demands by low-IQ biddable idiots masquerading as students----and they are worried about some ethnic labels in some old laws?

SQUIRREL!

I take it Honky, Gringo, Dago, Spic, Spade, Greaser, Chink, Wop and Mick are A-OK?

Oh let’s not forget the Limeys and Frogs and Squareheads!

And who could forget the old USO call...”Roundeyes in the theater at 16.00 hours!

[FlingWingFlyer]

Did da boy do this before or after saying that it was okay for men to pee in the ladies room and the football teams to shower with the cheerleaders?

[jocon307]

There’s nothing wrong with either of those words.

[going hot]

OK, all you slopes back to the orient and you negroids back to Africa, per presidential decree.

So, who is the racist now?

[Reno89519]

And Gringo? If we can’t have Wetback, then we shouldn’t allow use of Gringo, which is seriously derogatory toward Americans.

[TigersEye]

If 0bunghole is scrubbing words with Latin roots that describe race
why did he leave out Hispanic?

[philman_36]

See 8. The NY Rep. who introduced the amendment to begin with is to whom you should be directing your angst.

How about this from Meng...

H.RES.115 -- Recognizing the cultural and historical significance of Lunar New Year.

Just one of many resolutions/amendments she has out there.

Go here...THOMAS

Under "Browse Bills by Sponsor" Select a Rep. Find "Meng". Pick "Go" and see the 36 things she is doing.

[philman_36]

See 8. “Hispanic” is the ‘proper’ word.

[philman_36]

Notice this...Hispanic, Puerto Rican...

Silly me, I thought Puerto Ricans were Hispanics!

[jsanders2001]

NWO citizen race designations will simply contain numbers.../s

[TigersEye]

That makes a lot of sense. Latin for blacks and Asians is not good Latin for Spanish speaking people is OK. And Puerto Rican? WTF, that’s a regional designation.

Should I be offended if I’m called a Coloradan?

[Regulator]

Meng is just an Oriental Supremacist, trying to assert her racial supremacism in U.S. law.

Her goal is Oriental dominance within the United States culturally and financially, with the political center of the world agreed to be Beijing.

She’s no American and has no right to make laws for us.
