Surely, never had a male so adventurous a tale which may rank with most romances.

And while they are at it get rid of that gosh darn Shakespeare. Always making fun of Danish folks. Not to mention the blatant anti-semitism of The Merchant of Venice.
Oh wait. I forgot. Anti-semitism is acceptable to the left. Never mind.

Maybe you are the person to ask this question. Why is the word Orient/Oriental offensive to them now. We always said they were Oriental and no harm or insult was intended, they came from the Orient.
I am from Texas and I am not offended if someone calls me a Texan.

I've been studying redneck beer drinking for longer than that.

“Maybe we should burn the Mikado script. Maybe we should burn all books deemed inappropriate. Wait has this been tried before?”
Just watched a couple of “Dean Martin Roasts.” And I am left wondering how they can sell these DVD’s today. Talk about “politically incorrect,” but damned funny nonetheless!

Someday soon it will be homophobic to portray anyone as heterosexual.

I watched several of the Dean Martin Roast shows on Youtube a few months ago. Don Rickles is great.

You’re supposed to take knee-jerk offense, you bigot!
You’re not supposed to actually understand anything.
What’s the fun of that?

Why is the word Orient/Oriental offensive to them now.For the same reason that African-Americans can no longer be called "colored people," "black," "Negroes," or "people of color." (Ditto Native Americans can no longer be called "American Indians.") It's because the Liberal Stalinist Police have decided it so.

Maybe they should redo the Mikado in the Hood and call it The Mofodo or something.
Hey, it could work.
