Political Correctness Is Bullshit |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I was in english class today, entertaining myself by being as obnoxious as I could, and we were reading Of Mice and Men. We got to the part where it's talking about the black guy, and it mentions that he's a cripple. So my english teacher, who is mildly insane, decides to go into a long lecture about how the word cripple is unacceptable and how we are now expected to refer to them as the differently abled. Disabled isn't even acceptable anymore, they are differently abled. According to my spell check, abled isn't even a word.
This infuriates me. They are disabled. They lack the abilities that we have, therefore they are disabled. It makes sense. They are not differently abled, because they do not have abilities that we don't, they just don't have abilities that we do. To put it any other way is just insulting. To them and to us.
That's not it though. This got me thinking about all of this politically correct bullshit. You can't call black people black, they're African American. You can't call cripples crippled, they're differently abled. You can't call Jews Jews, they're Jewish people. It pisses me off. Black people are called black because they are people that are black. I'd go into a rant about how not all black people are african or american, but it's already been done. Cripples are called cripples, because their bodies are crippled. They are deformed, broken or otherwise handicapped. Jewish people are called Jews because it's easier to say than 'Jewish Person'.
If I ever fall down the stairs, break my spine, get brain damage, fall in black paint and suddenly become good with money, I want to be called the Retarded Black Jew Cripple. Anyone who calls me the Mentally Challenged Jewish African American Guy With Different Abilities dies.
To show that I care about you all, I've created a list of things you can't say, and what you should use in their place. This way, you won't need to get in trouble, and I won't need to hear more self righteous politically correct assholes bitching about the way you talk.
