uh those would be politically INcorrect, sir (except for gay). are we just making a list of racial, ethnic, and sexual slurs here? pretty sure urban dictionary might be able to help you on your quest.

I told a guy who said that he fancied me last week that I have Aids. His face dropped and he didn't find it funny at all. I find that it works even better when you tell someone that and then you lean towards them to kiss them on the lips.

Cantankerous 04.01.2008 06:26 AM

isn't 'wrong politically incorrectness' a double negative as in like, 'never had no'?

It depends. I take offence more when someone uses terms like ''nigger'' than when someone uses terms like ''gay''. This is probably because I have heard many people using it in a deliberately offensive manner and because it is intrinsically a strongly offensive and derogatory term. It's a different kettle of fish with labelling things that you don't like as ''gay''; That I find offensive only when it is used by someone who comes across as if they are hiding some latent homophobia and they feel like it is acceptable to call everything gay because it has become normal to do so.

i'm not an homophobe but i hate "fairies" and hysterical people alike.

''Politically Incorrect Terms That You Have Heard''

I assumed that the title of the thread was meant to read like this:

''Politically Incorrect Terms That You Have Heard and You Think That They Sound Wrong''

Whatever, it's the internet, inneeeee?

Does that mean that you hate women too? I'm not too much of a fan of queeny types myself, as it happens.

the word gay has been normalized to mean homosexual in a non-offensive way but yeah then people do run around shouting "that is so gay!" when they dispprove of something which is stupid because really if you think about it it doesn't make much sense. "nigger" really can only appropriately be used in a humorous context or in one such as patti smith's "rock n roll nigger" because patti smith took the term and applied it to a different context so as to mean an outsider, not just a black person.

I used to know a chap who'd refer to East-Asians as 'Canardlies'. I initially thought he was quaintly calling them 'bird-like' (as in 'Canard', duck in French). Turns out it was short for 'Can 'ardly see' (squinty eyes).

I had a Ugandan friend, black, who asked me for my favourite racist terms for the blacks. I pondered for a while and said that the word 'coon' made me laugh a lot. He laughed like a demented man. Later that week him and loads of his mates were calling each other coon. I felt a strange sense of pride.

African-American.

two reasons, a) unless you are talking about an actual African such as a Nigerian or a Cape Verdean, then perhaps you are using the wrong term. black folks in America are not from Africa. It is a politically correct term that is politically incorrect. further
b) if you pay attention closely there is a distinct vocal pause, and accentuated moment of hesitation, that comes to people and is obvious on their faces before they use such a term "african american". Now I am not saying that their first thought was "nigger" but, that they had a first thought which they believed inappropriate enough to dig into their memory vaults and pull out some PC nonsense tells me that they have put to much emphasis on blackness to begin with. in their mind, they have categorized black people as being "other" and they have to come to terms with this literally, rather then simply thinking of black folk as like themselves, unhyphenated Americans. Even worse, if you stigmatize blackness in your mind by using PC euphamisms to speak to black people, then you might find yourself internalizing this stigmatization, and find yourself avoiding black people, first in yr mind, and then in your life, as you have ascribed them to the uncomfortable category of "other"

this is how racism becomes institutionalized to begin with. In the history of the Americas, blacks were not "others" from the start. in fact, in the 16th and 17th century, indian girls in spanish occupied Americas would marry slaves because the black men held a higher social status, though enslaved, then did indian men in spanish colonial society. however, as cultural racism evolved, it institutionalized itself, and blackness became the negative. this starts small, in the minds of everyday people, who begin to think negatively about blackness until eventually they are fully racist.
political correctness further creates and perpetuates the conceptualization and experience of "otherness" and classifying people as "others"

it also can happen with, say Arabs or Jews. You can attack Islam or Judaism and cultural elements of these people, until eventually you just hate the people in general and not the culture at all. at the very least, in stigmatizing the people with the concepts of "political correctness" and avoiding "political uncorrectness" people begin to develop racist habits of avoidance. that is my two scents. just watch people for yourself. watch the way for example, in a class room setting, the teacher when talking about black history or issues, uses the term "black" freely without stigmatization if no black people are in the room, however, when black folks are around, the teacher loses their composure, and use several terms interchangeably, and noticeably drop the "african-american" bomb. it even stammers out of their mouths like a word they never use, like if your conservative grandmother cussed you out, it just sound awkward and silly. Further, do they use several interchangeable terms for whiteness, such as "caucasion" and "white-american" and "European descent" in the same paragraph? no, and yet, you might hear someone say "black" "african-american" and "black-american" in the same fucking sentance! overcompensating a bit much I might say....
