I still think you're trying to tell me I have to be politically correct and I don't want to have to be.
WTF are you talking about? I gave you a link to a group of people who don't like being called a ######. To them the term is offensive. And no i'm not telling you to be politcally correct. You've shown already that you don't gave a damn about anyone else but yourself.

EDIT: wow I actually read that article. What a bunch of self loathing crap. I really wish people could stop trying to lower their situation by comparing themselves to other stereotyped and neglected parts of society. I really empathize with ######ed people but that link you posted is actually hilarious. They make it sound like ######s are being chased with pitchforks and torches. I know there is a lot of discrimination against them, but it is getting better, hell they have their own olympics. This isn't the 1940s anymore, these people have a lot more understanding and respect than they ever did.
Your lack of empathy for these people is astounding. Go volunteer for this organization like i have and talk to these kids and young adults. They could probably educate you better than i could. Then again it's all self loathing crap to you.
