THAT's the issue. Are we becoming TOO politically correct? I've always been a If-you-can't-joke-about-it-you're-a-victim-of-it type of guy because prejudice is absurd and, therefore, funny. Of course it's also a serious matter, but people should also be free to have opinions. The Grey's anatomy guy should be accepted as not liking Gays. And he should be able to say so. Another example would the statistic that 1-in-4 under 30 black men have been in jail. That means that there's a 25% chance that the black dude walking down the street towards has been in jail at some point for something. Why ignore that fact? Why ignore that most suicide bombers are Middle Eastern men? Why be concerned with racial profiling? To me it just makes the hate/prejudice that much more dangerous and prevalent if you hide it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create Web Applications With ColdFusion MX7 & Flex 2.
