Lol actually I don’t find it offensive as I don’t get offended easily because I’m not a little bitch. But for arguments sake in 2020, it should be offensive to non-Caucasian folk.
The term implies that the first thing you see when you meet me is my skin color. That’s the very first characteristic you judge me by, therefore every single stereotype you know about my skin color applies to me, right? Fuck off.
Forget my height, my weight, and that I’m so good looking, none of that matters when you meet me.
Why would you relegate my existence by the color of my skin. I could be a major dick and it wouldn’t matter because I’m brown.. or rather a “person of color.”
Another thing is, why do people find it okay to say people of color, but not colored people. The words are literally switched around...
Which would you rather say?
People of color or colored people Mower of lawns or lawn mower Carrier of mail or mail carrier Sitter of houses or house sitter so on and so forth...
Cmon man....
I’m not a person of color, I’m a person of character...
If "colored person" is racist how is "person of color" not?
Exactly, I work with a bunch of ignorant leftists and I told them I don’t want to be labeled a person of color. I told them to call me a colored person lol!! The look on their faces were hilarious!
Surprised they didn’t scream “RACIST!!!!”
How about "person of abundant pigmentation?"
As a fair skinned freckled girl who's had more sunburns than she can count - I envy.
In the medical field, it’s now considered inappropriate to refer to someone with, say, diabetes, as a diabetic or diabetic patient. Instead, they insist on you using the phrase person with diabetes.
Clown world gymnastics. That’s all it is.
The word "Moron" began as a dignified technical term for the mentally challenged. There was a symposium for doctors that ran or managed mental wards, and they voted on what to call their patients.
It is a weird feature of human nature to try and mask unpleasantness with jargon.
This seems to match the norm, the left just forces us to change the actual words we use to describe the same things over time because they can't accept reality.
The left believes that the words are the insult. Therefore if we eliminate the words or change the vocabulary the insult can be eliminated, and humanity is made better.
The problem is that the meaning conveyed by the insulting words is the actual insult. In fact, the intention to insult is the underlying source of the insult, regardless of word selection. This means that insults and other derogatory language is innate to human nature and conditioned on intentionality. As such, the vocabulary instituted to eliminate the insult will become derogatory as its usage becomes more widely adopted.
Is that kinda like when doctors write PITA at the top of a patients written paperwork that gets shredded after it’s transcribed into eHR? Lol
That is more of an internal management thing.
Moron was adopted as the scientific term for patients that had previously been labeled as Idiots. To be fair, this is during the same time as when doctors were still arguing about germ theory, and deciding if washing your hands after an autopsy was necessary.
I am diabetic (the genetic version) and I've heard about this as well (though not from someone in the medical field, but in an online forum for diabetics).
The argument was "You are more than your illness, so refering to you as only your illness is dehumanizing you. If we say 'person with diabetes' we focus on you being a person who just suffers from this disease".
Honestly stfu. Diabetic is shorter than "person with diabetes" (and don't even try to make it an acronym "PWD"...). And honestly if you have such a low self esteem that you put your illness at the forefront - be lucky that you don't have bigger issues in your life to worry about.
I much prefer being called. Dumbass than “person that is an ass who is dumb.”
Jesus christ, that's retarded. I'm in that field and haven't come across that yet, I'll have to keep my eyes out for that type of language.
This. I'm not persay offended by it when people use it, but I am irritated because the people that use it are SJWs who would get offfended by the use of "Colored person". It's the exact same thing just said backwords.
Even Caucasians aren't pure 100% white though, and have color. Many are dark, from tanning or whatever. Some darker than middle eastern or Mexican, Asian, or other people of 'color'. Everyone is a color, so calling some people 'color' and others not seems to be just another way to discriminate and divide people into political tribes.
Even pure albinos, who have no melanin at all have a color, red, the color of the blood that's the same for everyone. High incidence of albinism among some Africans. More often pink skin and yellow hair and blue eyes like a Swede. They are lost in the color scheme.
To quote a meme, "We aren't 'white'. We are people of light."
Because lefties said so, that's why.
My ethnicity is Texan.
My color is red, white, and blue.
My race is American.
That last line would make a great piece on recurring Trump 2020 ads.
A photo of "person of color". Underneath it, your text "I’m not a person of color, I’m a person of character." TRUMP PENCE KAG 2020
That is a great, great fucking line!
You’re right in a sense. The way I see it, though, most of the new critical race theory, BLM, social justice think when you drill down to the bottom of it all they do seem to think white people are magical beings who can do things other races can’t. They aren’t shy about expressing this constantly. What else is “white privilege” other than agreeing with white supremacists that whites are inherently better than other races? I don’t believe that but they clearly do so that’s cool I guess..
This particular struggle over names is one long series of names becoming offensive and replaced with new names until they become offensive and replaced in turn. By now it should be obvious that reinventing language doesn't do anything for the underlying problem of feeling offended, it just launches a new round of virtue signalling and censorship. Tearing down statues and erasing history is more of the same.
God bless you Pede, ^^this is America!
I agree. People didn't used to talk about color much before Obama. People now talk about it all the time and treat everyone different and lump people together in stupid little groups so they can generalize and make assumptions and treat them differently- the exact definition of racism. Most people don't care about that nonsense. We're all individuals, not color swatches.
I'm with you.
Race is a farce. At its best its a great conversation and many funny jokes come from it. At its worst its a tool of victimhood and oppression.
BTW I'm not caucasian. As far as I know none of my ancestors hailed from the Caucasus and furthermore it was a racist, naturalist that thought some people were genetically superior that came from the Caucasus.
I reject racist naturalism... I reject race.
We are members of the human race. And until we stop focusing on race, talking about race like its real... we'll never get rid of racism. Its a evil naturalist concept that has lended credence to all sorts of evils (Nazism one of the biggest movements that got power from it)
And until we stop focusing on race, talking about race like its real...
we did for a while in the 70's, 80's, 90's until Rodney King and hustlers like Jackson and Sharpton realized the money well of racism was going dry.
I want to know exactly at which shade you become a person of color. We should demand that Democrats point it out explicitly on a color chart.
As a Sicilian I also am deeply curious.
Many people around India and Sri Lanka want to know too. They may be Ayrian or Dravidian but they are purple-black, as dark as any African.
I wish the DNC would publish an Official Color Chart
Right?!
Didn’t you know? There are only two kinds of people: whites and everyone else.
Thank you all for seeing through this crap. It’s comforting to know that I’m not the only one. Y’all are based. Portland is based too, but mostly just in soy and white savior complex.
You right
Omg THANK YOU! I’ve been saying this for years! Anytime I said something about it I was called “racist”. The term makes me uncomfortable.
It offends me
Don’t worry friend - we Trump supporters see you as an America citizen and nothing else - we don’t look at you and see color. If you commit a crime and we witness it we will see color but only because we want to give the police as accurate a description as possible. But you’re a normal person, an upstanding citizen, so that won’t come into play.
Many of us are unable to see color because we see each and every human being as being made in the image of God, bearing the Maker’s mark. Racism is for the dimwitted and cursed...
Person of color is also the perfect fuck whitey term, separate out whites from non-whites. It completely ignores the diversity of cultures of non-whites and tries to lump them all together into a single group for easier manipulation by the globalists.
It also lumps together and ignores the diversity of white cultures. There is a huge difference in the traditional foods, art, music and holidays of, for instance, the Polish and the Welsh.
Also the term “minority”. Jesse Lee Peterson brought this up recently. If you are an American, how are you a minority?
People aren’t treated differently based on skin color, legally speaking, so the term makes no sense other than to make you feel small and apart from everyone else.
The Left see you and me as one of their tools.
I am not a tool, I am a man!
Don't feel bad. The term is only meant to isolate and exclude white people from every other human on the planet.
Carrier of mail. I like it.
Also good looking. Let's not forget that.
No one thinks abut the color of my skin. Because it is a fact that freedom actually makes your cock bigger. Not just because it is erect and bigger. But bigger-bigger.
The same miracle that transformed me from a midpacker can transform anyone else to the head of the field. You just have to love freedom. Lies and bullshit are just totally limp Love freedom, cock bigger. Simple. Skin color does not impact equation.
I advise freedom. Always do. We need a lot more Pedes out there. And we got to do whatever is necessary to encourage the conception of Lil' Pedes. Which includes making sure are dicks are as massive and rigid as possible in order to safely deliver precious load to a sacred space.
America is counting on you.
I once called a guy on Guam 'Guamanian' and got an empty Jack Daniels bottle thrown at me lmao
👏👏👏
Awesome! I find it terrible offensive too, and I'm white! We are all one race... The human race!!!
Well, mostly because leftists are retarded... and racist
Fijian-Indian here. Excellent post.
BTW - It really means Person WITH Color.
What colors? Just brown and black? No blue or green eyes, no red or blond hair?
Perhaps persons of NO CHARACTER cannot SEE character.
Or choose not to.
When there is nothing but racism in your heart, then race is all you see.
Come up look me in the eye and shake my hand. I dont give a crap what colour people are just be good.
The golden rule has been around for 10000 years
Welcome to 2020, where you're racist if you DON'T judge someone by the color of their skin.
So whatever you do, don't be racist and judge people by the content of their character.
Only a complete bigot would suggest something so stupid as that... right?
That was excellent.
thunderous applause
Good for you calling things out. You’re a beast and don’t ever let anyone else say otherwise 👊
Listen dude you don't get to determine what is offensive to you. The left does. This is how this shit works. The left determines who has the right to be offended, when they can be offended, and how serious it is.
If given the green light you can burn and loot shit.
I am half Asian and consider myself a white nationalist.
"that I’m so good looking"
...and humble too! :) MAGA on, 'pede.
Well said!
If you came to australia you would be called a FOB, by other islanders. I would of just said "hey mate, how ya goin?".
No, you’re a charactered person, gotta be PC come on
That’s liberals though. They are truly racists. When they see a person and take their measure race is noted and their behavior changes accordingly. The greatest irony is that calling someone “colored” was deemed offensive for as long as I’ve been alive, but a few years ago they changed the phrase “colored people” into “people of color” and somehow it’s the proper way to refer to non-whites. Lol nah bruh.
You mean you don't need white liberal saviors to help you get an ID card?
It also reeks of white supremacy. So the world is broken up into “white people” and “everyone else”? Okay....
"person of color' is inherently racist by pure logic deduction. At it's core it explicitly singles out a specific race as being different than the rest, by it's own definition it's a binary term, you have "persons of color" and "white persons". The implication is that white persons are different from all other races.
