Hilarious! That's the whole mentality that says, "It's OK that kids bully other kids at school. It toughens them up." And yes, doomedmarine, White people have it so hard. You're right. Always being called "white face." (???) You're also right that minorities always have it so easy: getting their Get-Out-of-Jail-Free Cards and getting free scholarships. Life is made for them. (Can I put most that paragraph in Sarcasm font?)
And "Glee" is shoving the gay agenda down people's throats? No, it's called portraying gay characters on televisionsomething you seem threatened by. It's also funny that you say that you "have no problems with gays," yet you start you post off of "Who will be the next limp wristed?" And to even suggest that there is a "gay agenda" is ridiculous.
And being human is using what identity people have and using that as a weapon? What a misanthropic and xenophobic way of viewing life. That's one of the most dehumanizing definitions of
being human
that I've ever heard. You seem like a very bitter person.
doomedmarine? You sound more like Ann Coulter. (Or Victoria Jackson for that matter.) -

Ha, dude relax! I'm just trying to make a point that I think it's a pretty dismal view of the world to accept that throwing out racial epithets and putting down a whole cultural group is an OK thingthat we just need to "buck up" and throw bigoted comments back. I'm White, but that does not mean I'm OK with calling someone "white face" (which I completely believe is a derogatory termI've just never heard of it). I don't think living in a world in which we accept bullying as a tactic to sift out the "weak" in a survival-of-the-fittest mentality is OK. Yelling the loudest or saying the meanest things possible is no way to sort out problems.
I was not saying that White people don't have problems or live in poverty or experience racism. But I also believe that it is impossible to completely experience prejudice in the same way as a part of the majority.
Yes, the world of "Glee" is ridiculous. And yes, too many shows still portray gay characters extremely stereotypicallyincluding "Glee," "Modern Family," "Will & Grace," etc. What's offensive is not that these gay characters exist, but that there is a lack of gay characters who aren't limp-wristed, talking with a lisp, etc. And I completely agree with you that shows like "Glee" are ridiculously PC.
And just because those are words you don't know, doesn't mean
I
had to look them up; believe it or not, those are words I know. It's not called using a thesaurus; it's called using English. And I used the word
xenophobic
instead of
homophobic
because I was talking more generally about prejudice and fear of the unknown. And I have no problem admitting what I don't know: I have
no clue
who Derryn Hinch is. What's your point? Good job on purposely stating an obscure reference just to "one up" me.
Looks like you got me there!
Criticizing the "pretentious" words I used and trying your hardest to insult me is hardly "dissecting" my post. To me it looks like going on the defensive and throwing out insults. It did make me smile, though.
