Also racist to call a black person black. But not a white person white.

When some shite goes down that you hate, we'll say the same thing.
This PC crap is ridiculous. These people try and make everyone feel bad for saying basic words. I mean, you have an organization that calls themselves colored people, but they go ape shite if you call them colored.
What about calling people retards? They were retarded 20 years ago. Why do I need to use some special medical term now to say the same thing. Do the SJWs not know what it means? Does it suddenly make them less retarded if I call them something different?

Special needs is all encompassing. There are people who are retarded but not nearly as menu who have autism or some other disorder that is not retardation. It's like handicapped people. Not everyone is crippled.

Mexican is not a race. If you are from Mexico, then you are Mexican.

quote:you gave little context, but from what you said, I don't see that as relevant to the story to point out they were Mexican. It's certainly not racist though, but the term "Mexican" can and certainly is used as derogatory at times.
Have you ever watched Mexican guys work next to black guys and white guys? Yeah, that's the difference.
If their nationality were relevant to the story, it would make more sense but it doesn't seem like it was. A similar example, my in-laws took my twin 3 year olds to Disney world last year and they were telling me how much fun they had and talking in front of my boys and to my boys about how they were dancing with the black lady that worked there. My mother in law was mad and couldn't understand why I thought there was anything wrong with saying that in front of my boys. Point is, if the lady was white, she'd never say "the white lady", it would just be "the lady". It's certainly not racist, but I also don't want my boys in an environment where we have to point out that any person is non-white even when it's totally irrelevant to the situation.

it's a disease bro
and it spreads to most folks that are fearful and want to fit in!
it's kinda like grade school, wanting to be accepted and all that crap

Well, I'd do it in any other situation, and have done it several times. Problem numero uno was that she was an old lady. Problem dos is that I was at a kid's party.
It seems like the people who are most upset by what I say have absolutely no link to whatever "racist" thing that just came out of my mouth. This old woman was just some white lady from Franklinton
I've never had the pleasure to be corrected by a geezer broad.....not sure wtf I'd say either!
perhaps something along the lines of, "what other words are trigger words for you and why"?
and just stare at her

I'm generally a very nice and courteous person, but I have zero patience for these fricking douchebags. I would have been very politically incorrect with that old bitch.

I get what you're saying, but there really is a context to it. It would be like saying I have three Jews managing my portfolio right now

Hammertime not all Latinos are Mexican. Some people who hail from other Central American countries hate being called Mexican and hate people from Mexico.
