I remember explaining that to my son when he was about 3.
Well sure, but losing one's job?

No I don’t think that is right.

Why would someone use that word in this day and age? It would invite a smack down in just about any setting I’m in these days.

Really? I wouldn't think there is anything wrong with it. Maybe I'm old.

That’s the funny part. I’d wager 95% of people would say “not wrong enough to lose their job” yet corporations overreact so as not to offend the 5%.

The 5% make the news and hence what we think about talk about and orient our lives to. And by make I mean manufacture. It is the human platform and the algorithms are set.

Get with the program.... shes a "woman of color", not a "colored woman". Its the addition of "ed" that got his in trouble. "Ed is short for "education" ( as in fizz ed...) and one must not bring up education when talking about women of color because that's racist. Also, some guy named Ed said he redd that "woman of color" puts the emphasis on the word "woman" while "colored woman" puts the emphasis on "colored" which is pissing off the African American women because she's not African American and the word "woman" is pissing off the LGBTQRSVWXYZ community because it doesnt make it clear which of the 374 genders these homophobic racists are talking about...

Thom Brennaman is getting canceled. I remember when he called Cubs games on WGN. One of Harray Carray's replacements, if I recall.

Now's the time he should come out as gay, btw.
I'm thinking of coming out as bi. Seems the hardest to disprove.

It is kind of funny, but if you ask most people in Taiwan if they would offended if someone called them "yellow skin", most people would look at you and say, "yup, so what?"
I never knew that "yellow skin" was supposed to be an insult until I came to the US. LOL

Offensive things are part of our gross national product here. We import innocuous words and ideas, then refine them into offensive product. That product is never exported though. We consume all of it domestically. For some reason, that is one American innovation the rest of the world seems to have no interest in.
