the sad and ridiculous truth about political correctness


 when one refuses and does not accept the absurdity of being labelled only because one dares to be honest and say it as is without being offensive or disrespectful. The truth is the truth, even when it is ugly and makes one cringe...why run away from it...why pretend...?

..................................

Was reminded of this while watching the standup comedian Colin Quinn -" Unconstitutional "

and thus a share from his show...

"...but if u mention ethnicity, there is a tenseness in the stomach
...if u even mention someones ethnicity...everybody is like....WOW WOW!

...if i told u a true story-
this Mexican guy came up to me ...

....oh! wow! wow!....why does this guy have to be Mexican in your true story...i don't understand...?

...u know u have to speak in those idealised, pasteurised, homogenised, colourblind...

...so u change...

...this guy comes up to me, could have been Mexican...
i don't know...
i don't care...
i shouldn't have...
central America?...
Latino....
it was a man...
alright...
wait a minute...
i was sexist...
i don't know if it was a man...
could have been a woman...
could have been LBGT...
i don't know...
i mean...it was a life form that came up to me...u know...hold on......

I'd like to start the story by apologising for...obviously i am coming from a place of...Western entitled unconscious fear of the other and uhhhh...

I'd like to start by saying...this apology has been a learning experience for me...u know...a teachable moment and i think i am going to do some soul searching and hopefully down the line i can start a non-profit for other people that will tell....

u applaud when one is grovelling and then u say... now u begin to understand...u really starting to understand how to think and talk...that's right...that's very good."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.....one can only but laugh!

When absurdity transcends even the meaning of that word.
