I think it is funny, the people that gets offeded has low self esteem and lack of confidence in themselfs

Yeah, I get upset and offended when I see a box of "Cracker Jack" but Rev. Al, Jesse and the ACLU won't help me.


slushpile reader
Because its only okay to make fun of white people now.


steddy voter
Don't forget Santa... he's the latest one being attacked. Apparently in Australia, they feel that him saying ho, ho, ho is offensive to women.

PC is getting to be so ridiculous.

Too funny. People take things too seriously and think that someone is dumb enough to believe that Mexicans are Chihuahuas and black people are slaves.....

Anyone that is dumb enough to believe such a thing is probably too ignorant to speak.

There is a limit on being politically correct. If you take offense at everything, you are just causing more attention to our differences instead of our similarities.

it dint anger me :-)


Dog Tricks
If a person is secure in who they are those things don't offend them. Unfortunately we have some radical people in this world who take the simplest thing and turn it into an issue.

I love that Taco Bell dog. I don't get the problem with the Cream of Wheat man.... but whatever.

Now, who could possibly have a problem with Speedy Gonzales. And why is it okay to poke fun at southern accents and not hispanic accents. I am both, and as long as it not mean than what the heck.

Some people are looking for anything to complain about and possibly hit pay dirt if they can sue! Sad commentary on the mindset of those choosing to be victims of everything, huh?

They're not Politically Correct (but I'm not offended)

Only liberals were offended on behalf of those they presume to be offended. Yo quiero taco bell!


booshua
People began to realize, not too long ago, that they can get upset about everyday things that have to do with race, and Whitey will get really scared and appease them.

No offense, but your white. White people don't have stereotypes circulated on a national spectrum.
