As an Oregonian, I can we are an extremely politically correct state to the point of detriment. I saw a subway commercial where they labeled a 12" sandwhich as a "he" and one of my Facebook feminism friends reposted MASSIVELY over reacting. To me, there is more important topics to worry about than something as stupid and Irrelevent as that. I would have no offense if they labeled that sandwhich as a her.

Lol that is awful.

I don't get why people are so fucking sensitive about stuff. Is it that hard to accept who you are, and be able to make fun of yourself? I know I have a black friend and everyone always makes racist jokes to him all the time, but really we only do it because he makes racist jokes about himself. Conversely, everyone else gets joked at for being fat, which again, doesn't matter because we can accept it and have fun with it... but nah, I guess this is too advanced of a concept for 21st century civilization. *sigh*

I agree that our species should more so focus on learning to accept ourselves and how we can improve from that point. I personally do not make any kind of racist jokes because race doesn't exist to me, period. Religion doesn't either, I don't care what you believe. I would rather knock someone for having twisted beliefs before anything else, regardless of race, religion, sex, and so on. But yeah, the Social justice warrior is becoming kind of dangerous and restrictive. I want absolute equality. The male white guy is being disciplined much harder than anyone else with the words that come out of their mouth. I also don't think it's fair for black people to refer to each other or a friend as nigga but a white person cannot also refer to a friend or brother in the same manner. That's the only example I use because most any other "race" (we are all humans, color don't mean shit) doesn't take the original meaning, slightly twist it and then own it ie. cracks/saltine, beaner, chink, roosky, towel head etc (I don't discriminate :) colors don't exist. Values do. And this is very important to understand, and what I believe is the next true step - we cannot decide ANYTHING based on how you look. It must be done on values)
