IMO, America is probably the only country in the world where society is bound by the grips of political correctness. This shit goes back to the days of Kindergated nigs, some of ya'll have forgot what those post-menopausal teachers have embedded deep into our noggins. Remember those cartoon pictures of stereotypical lookin characters from around the world holdings hands n shit? You had the African wearing a striped tiger tunic, the eskimo with his fur coat and small eyes, fuckin Indian with a feather on top of his head and a tepee behind him? Remember, how those teachers use tell us, "oh you can't call him Indian, that's a Native American."
That shit is ridiculous.. probably the most absurd shit whites have ever done to minimize the guilt from the fact that their ancestors did some terrible shit to the Indian(native america idgaf, black, and Asian.
You go to any other country in the world and they won't call Africans "african", they'll call em black "negro". Asian "chinese" "chino" "chinito", I'm sorry to the Asian kids in here but most Latinos(Mexican, South n Central American, Caribbean) call Asian people "chinese" because they have slanted eyes, not because they're hatin or a perceived ignorance thought to be but because they don't wanna go through the trouble of distinguishing the variety of Asian nationalities that have citizens with slanted eyes. It isn't offensive to the people who grew up around that type of environment.. For instance, I know this Cuban dude who always balls it up at the courts where I play, dude is dark as the nightime sky, n he doesn't really care if peeps call him "negro". Granted we also call him by his name, but he don't mind, we swig brew most times after the game n dude is mad chill. And this doesn't apply just solely on race but on various type of categories depending on how you look. If a guy is fat, he's getting a nickname n we'll call him by something that jabs at his weight. If a guy is effeminate, you best believe those gay jokes to pop up. Short in height etc.
That's why America is cold. Aside from the fact that everyone is pissed off at having to pay a bunch of bills we have to put up with those falsely perceived notions that was thought best for uniting a culturally mixed society when, in fact, it distances them far more than it was in the first place.
