Okay I give up. What's with the pepsi?
its the backlash man.Its at the point that EVERY GROUP but north american white people can have a harmless laugh at racial humour.Ever watch a black comedian? Or a Gay comedian? 9/10 of them base their routines on racial or minority jokes. And its usually pretty funny.Id be lying if I said i havent watched ever god damn episonde of the chapelle show and loled my *** off. Funny crap.If a white dude of twice the comedic talent were to make these jokes, he would get shot
I general I'd say I agree 98% with Grandy's post above.
I dont get mad about jokes against white dudes either.But I do think its shitty that if I were to say on TV "You know, Im really proud to be a white german-candian man" I would get bashed for being a neo-nazi.People would probably overlook that whole "Berlin wall coming down thing" Back in 89And im sure they would not think to mention the "Protestant and catholic canadian priests housing escaped slave to seek refuge and find their place in a savge new continent" thingWhereas a black dude can say "Im proud to be a nigga these days" and the association is somehow linked with Mr Martin Luther King.....when he just used an N-bomb and finished joking about black-on-black violence.There are many Native canadians here. They for some reason get treaty cheques and bursaries to go to university....despite having lived outside of a reservation for 5-6 generations. For some reason there are still reservations, where tax laws are absent. Where federal laws are exempt. where common goods dont have the same federal sales taxes. I am a seventh generation Canadian. My family helped colonize the candian prairies. We lived in holes under the ground and lived off of a couple of chickens and potatoes.There is just a huge double standard is all, and it bothers me.I think the first big step in creating an equal playing field in a society is eliminating terms like `minority group` because believe it or not, giving special treatments to one minority over another,or even all minorities over one majority, creates more minorities out of the majorities.Its easy to call white people a majority. But HARK....women are somehow a minority now...50% of the whites are women....and are a minority now....but the men are not. But wait wait....gay rights (which I am a firm believer in) so 10% of white men are gay. Another minority.Now,if youll look, I have created a Minority out of straight white men. Dosent compute.Ill be straight up here...Im a schizophrenic, bisexual, canadian white male. Where the hell is my special treatment? Where is my university money? Where is my billion dollar lawsuit? Its lost in the wake of a few hundred thousand minority groups all trying to take advantage of a delicate situation

We don't have Bawls over he- oh wait is that supposed to be one of those innuendo things where you get people to say they don't have "balls"?
Well it's a quota (sp?) that schools, companies & ect have to reach. They need a certain amount of minorities/co-ed to work there or whatever. Why? Because they'd rather not be called racists or sexists. It's how the world is now <<
Yeah so I'm pretty
I'm a fat-***
