you see with PC we can all rejoice that you are Black, but if anyone rejoices that I am White - well, that is just racism!

What, they don't have an annual WASP Day Parade where you live??

We had better stick with our pre-approved PC  identities - You just be happy with Black, and I'll just stick with Gay.  :laugh:

Actually, the pre-approved PC identity for me would be African-American. They're trying to get us all to stop using black. And my grandmother still refers to colored folks.

:laugh: we wilt in the heat so we don't parade much outside, just a few demonstrations indoors at the country club.

yes, when I was a small boy the acceptable terminology was "colored" - there was a sweet made for cable tv movie made about 15 years ago, and set back in the late 1940's titled

"Once Upon A Time When We Were Colored".

More likely it would have been whitewashed!  :-\

How can you celebrate diversity in this thread, and then turn around and dis straight guys?? They are part of diversity too.
