So...Is Micheal Jackson considered white or black?

 

[TheBellhop]

Gay.
Retard.
CHRISTMAS TREE.
Black.
White.

Just a few terms I use that aren't politically correct. There's many others, and they're probably why I'm going to hell. Ooops.

I hate when people use these.

 

[BabyPiglet]

I say black unless I'm on here. And here I don't want to be chewed out, so I say African American.

But I'm called White and I don't have people call me American, or specifically Russian American.

That'd be stupid.

 

[BabyPiglet]

Micheal Jackson is Black.

I think...

 

[crazy2beautiful]

I INSIST that people refer to me as Japanese Irish Scottish American.
It's just rude if you call me anything else.

:sarcasm:

 

[hidmickey:myantidrug]

I'm not even going to go into my thoughts on this because I don't have that kind of patience. But, do you remember when they tried to get all of America to call french fries "Freedom fries"...talk about short-lived.

 

[meeshheartsdisney217]

They're Indians.
We're Americans. that's it. you can't be a different kind of american. unless your african american. that's an exception.
you can said the word god in public. it's okay really.
girls do not need to be protected 24/7. guys don't automatically get to rule everything cuz their a guy. but i'm not offended because someone says freshman.

and hil i don't get it?

I use those terms. Too much. They've just habit-ed their way into my vocabulary. I know they're offensive, but sometimes I can't help it.

 

[BabyPiglet]

Haha we actually had all the restaurants down here change their menus because of that crap.

How ridiculous.

 

[BabyPiglet]

Yes there is no such thing as a pure American, except maybe Native Americans.

African Americans, that shouldn't be an exception. I call them black people. Sue me.

I use the word Gay when I'm referencing to a Gay person.

I also use the word Retard or ********, sometimes when not referencing to a Mentally Challenged person.

 

[crazy2beautiful]

I use the word gay when referring to something I find stupid. That doesn't mean I think gay people are stupid, though.
I also use ******** when referring to something I find stupid.

Everyone around me has used these terms, so they made their ways into my vocab.

 

[BabyPiglet]

I suppose I'm Russian German Irish Indian Swedish American?

Niiiice.

No. Just. No.

 

[hidmickey:myantidrug]

I don't really care.

Except calling African Americans black people. That bugs me. In fact it bugged me so much I corrected my history teacher the other day.

See, that is something that drive me absolutly up the wall. Until I am refered to as Caucasian, you're black. There is no changing that. To me, it is absolutly inexcusable to use your being a minority to flip it around and gain the benefits of it.
*All 'yous' and forms of it are meant as general 'you's and not as in the original poster of this.

 

[BabyPiglet]

I agree hidmickey:myantidrug

mhmmm.... same.

Homosexual is the correct term for it but there are a lot of people who don't feel like saying a big word like that. My family is very close to a homosexual couple and they are the same. Calling someone "gay" just because they do something you don't like is like an insult to actual homosexuals.

Mentally challenged is the correct term for that and my cousin is that. Don't get me started on this term for i scream at kids on my bus for using this.

 

[BabyPiglet]

But I know tons of gay people who call themselves gay, not homosexual. I don't call people gay because I don't like them.

I cannot stand that. I would never degrade people as such. I just can't.

 

[Sparx]

"gay"
and
"********"

are just not things I say.

If I do say them, I am talking about an actual homosexual person, or someone who suffers from mental retardation. (I also say ******** to mean "delayed" which is the textbook definition of it. you can "retard" something by slowing it or stopping it, but its very rare I use it in that form either)
