Looks like I have rustled some jimmies with my wrong think. That's good. Progress is only made outside of the comfort zone.
My point is that most of today's forms of so called "Racism" are pathetic shallow, and pedantic. They are microaggressions taken as if they are physical violence.
It's all one big left wing circle jerk in university echo chambers full of spineless degenerate filth as if they are panicky little worms always living in fear of the big bad bird that they imagine will gobble them up. Most of whom have never even seen a REAL bird. "Birds are monsters, OH NO I HEARD A CHIRP!!!"
As for "Gypsy" being a racial slur it is not. Only hyper sensitive butt hurt people take it as so. That's like saying "Jew" is a racial slur.
It's more a matter of context really, and can sometimes be taken as offensive. The key word being "taken". One does not "give offense". Offense can only be taken. It is a personal choice if you are offended so easily. This of course is only applicable to words, and not actions. For instance if I called you "fat and ugly" then it's on you to take that in, and hurt you or not, where as if I smacked you with a baseball bat... that aint on you not to get hurt. There is a difference.
I'll give you a little history on the run down of "racist words".
Back in the day "Colored" or "Colored people" were used as the most polite term for a someone with high levels of melanin.
Later on it became a "no no word". That's bad m-kay! call them "Negro" now. Negro is the polite term. Negro was considered a very friendly term. There are organizations even that still use that name such as "The united negro college fund", and MLK even referred to himself as negro. It wasn't bad it was polite. Negro is literally just the Spanish word for black.
Then that civil rights movement got a rolling... "Hey cracker, we aint negro no mo. We be black now. Don't be using negro no mo!" alright black guy. Your black now, that's the respectful term. I think Malcolm X was a big part of the "Black power movement" and that got the word "Black" in the lexicon.
Kept on rolling with that civil rights movement... Negro long as dust in the past. What was once respectful now viewed as archaic and insensitive.
Then comes "African American" I think Jessie Jackson was a big part of popularizing that. However "black" stayed somewhat with it, and just nipping at the heals behind "African American" as the right word.
Now though, those 2 words got problems too. You see not all dark skinned people are from Africa. It probably aint right to call a person from Haiti or Jamaica African American. Also black kinda leaves out the lighter skinned dark skinned people who got more of a caramel colored skin.
So it has been decided that now the proper lexicon is "People of Color" or "POC"...
Think about this little journey we went on.
Starting with "Colored people is bad!"
Ending with "People of color is good!"
To continue on with this cycle is an exercise in insanity.
20 years from now it will be "Melanin Gifted Individuals" or "MGI."
20 years after that when "African American" has become the new "Negro", and is at that point offensive it will be "Americanized people of African decent" or "Apoad"...
I'm here to toss a monkey wrench into this chaotic retarded no no word machine that doesn't do anybody any good.
