A request...
Posted by Bob Haworth on August 15, 2007, 12:29 pm
OK - if there's anybody out in cyber space reading this, I have a request. I'm writing a song about how ridiculous political correctness has become. I'd like some input from anybody who remembers anything that used to be common place but is now politically incorrect. Anybody remember Little Black Sambo, for example? That's a story that has apparently faded into obscurity. Then there was Sambo's Restaurant - no more. How 'bout eenie meenie mynie mo? Miss and Mrs. is now Ms. Dames and broads are now b###hes and ho's. Midgets are now little people. Blind people are sight challenged, short people are vertically challenged, bald people are folically challenged, stupid people are intellectually challenged. Gimps are physically impaired. Illegal aliens are undocumented migrants. We can't call people Wops, Nips, Pollacks or Chinks anymore. (Not that I would, but...) People these days are nearly paralyzed for fear of offending anyone and I think that we've gone overboard with political correctness. Hey - I'd much rather that people just say it like it is. Don't water it down - call me ugly - I can take it! So, if you have any others that come to mind let me know.
