ZitatIt's been approximately three seconds since a liberal has lectured me on how racist I am for doing something that is nowhere near the realm of being racist, so I was delighted to read this article about how I shouldn't be saying all sorts of phrases, because I'm apparently - you guessed it - RAAAAAAAAAACIST.
Again.
Leave it to a "journalist" at the HuffPo to remind us about being overly political correct in an already overly political correct world void of common sense.
Because HuffPo.
First off, you obviously can't say "indian giver" anymore, because that is just NOT COOL. Coincidentally, if you do choose to ever say "indian giver," you're probably a Redskins fan, and consequently a dirty racist freak.
Here are some other things that Huffpo "journalist" chick says that you're not allowed to say anymore if you don't want to be lumped in with all those teabagging, cross-burning KKK folks that hipster progressives are always screeching about on MSNBC:
Here are 8 words and phrases you must stop using immediately lest the perennially offended turn their ire on you.
""Uppity" This one’s my favorite, y’all. I love it, because HuffPo chick says that it’s a “word beloved by conservative news pundits,” so you know it’s AUTOMATICALLY RACIST without any further description of it whatsoever. Because, DUH. If conservatives love the word, it MUST BE FREAKING RAAAAAAAAAAACIST. She also says that the word has a Southern connotation, so it’s DOUBLE-racist. Because every white person from the South is obviously racist by definition. Just ask HuffPo "journalists.""
A "southern connotation?" Isn't that, well, racist, labeling, discriminatory, bigoted, prejudiced and xenophobic?
Sounds like Chinese whispers to me. (I just wanted to use that phrase, even though I have no idea what it means).
