Stop picking on the Chinese! (It's not right!)

 Dear Friends: It's coming up to Prom time and this nice couple is being chastised by the P.C. crowd because the girl has appropriated a Chinese dress thereby demeaning and diminishing Oriental culture. (At least according to this group of Left Wing, vegetarian, oil protesting, tree hugging activists who took some time off from swimming with the dolphins to show up at the protest!)

The term political correctness (adjectivally: politically correct; commonly abbreviated to PC or P.C.) is used to describe language, policies, or measures that are intended to avoid offense or disadvantage to members of particular groups in society. Since the late 1980s, the term has come to refer to avoiding language or behavior that can be seen as excluding, marginalizing, or insulting groups of people considered disadvantaged or discriminated against, especially groups defined by sex or race. In public discourse and the media, it is generally used as a pejorative, implying that these policies are excessive.

AND; since we Canadians like nothing better than to apologize for stuff we did in the past (We have humbled ourselves before the Indians, immigrants, gays, women, kids, blacks and left handed people)

Canada will now formally apologize for turning away a boat full of Jewish refugees fleeing Nazi Germany in 1939, resulting in scores of them dying, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Tuesday.

Any other suggestions about who we can apologize to would be more than welcomed by the Government, just send your suggestions to: Justin, c/o Parliament Hill, Ottawa!

P.S. Your long suffering author was invited to this Prom too, but I can't go because they won't let me wear my Headdress! (Well, it is a formal occasion.........., right?)

 

(Gee, with such racist and marginalizing comments as these I guess I can never run for public office at some time in the future eh?)
