Though language policing is a liberal disease

the right also talks a lot about how we should talk.
When everyone thought Rush Limbaugh called Sandra Fluke a slut, many conservatives were angry at him. “He shouldn’t have stooped to that level” they said, “it cheapens the whole discussion.” Fuck that. She went to a Catholic school and wanted to have sex before marriage. In that context, that’s exactly what she is (and he never even said that). “How you should talk” is the root of political correctness. “Oh, it’s not ‘African American’” they say with their pinky in the air, “It’s ‘person of color’.” Actually, it’s “black” you patronizing prick.

Your Say

There's a time and place for everything, and the one that thinks its always the time and place to be rude, snide, and crude is as annoying to me as the prude with his pinky in the air.

Try getting a definition of the term "person of color" out of anyone who uses the term. What you'll get back will be insults and accusations, not an answer.
