I agree with what you said Neurotic guy, stuff I was talking about it going to far is stuff like
In 2007, Santa Clauses in Sydney, Australia, were forced to revolt for the right to say “Ho Ho Ho”, the traditional laugh of jolly old St. Nick. It turns out that their employer, the recruitment firm Westaff (that supplies hundreds of Santas across Australia), told all trainees that “ho ho ho” could frighten children and be derogatory to women
Reliable’ and 'hard-working’ – surely the two keystone employers look for in an employee? Well, maybe not: a Hertfordshire recruitment agency boss was once told she could not request those qualities – Jobcentre Plus in Thetford, Norfolk, told her such an advert could be "offensive” to unreliable people.
I think the PC stuff on race is long over due as we all of one race the human race and no one should have to endure such things, but some of this other PC stuff is well, nonsense.
But that is just false. There are several races with distinct features. We should celebrate this diversity, not just say we are all the same. Are all dogs the same? Or cats? Sure, they look similar, but are not the same. They can breed with one another, but have different genetic features and come from different parts of the world. How similar are an Aboriginal and an Inuit? I bet there is not a chance in this world you would mix them up
I think your sentiments are likely well-intended but I'd be cautious with these type of comments (sorry to sound condescending but I'm being honest). The basis for racist's justification for discrimination (or worse) is, and has always been, grounded in the "belief" that the races are fundamentally different. I think I get what you are saying, but the difference in races should not be compared to the differences among dogs or cats. Black, Caucasians, Asians... are not "breeds" of humans -- and from a genetic standpoint humans of different races are FAR more alike than different. "Cultural" diversity stems not from skin color or physical characteristic differences but from uniqueness that has emanated over time from family histories, traditions, customs, foods, beliefs, arts, etc. I agree these types of diversity should be celebrated.
But I'm likely far from the best person to respond to this and I'm not sure I said it very well, I just thought I needed to give it a shot.
