Is 'beloved patriot' offensive to anyone?

FWIW. Skinheads & members of the Aryan Brotherhood are very offended by that name.

What about the Aryan Sisterhood or Aryan Cousinhood? Would they mind as well?

I don't get offended. Even if a colored person called me that in anger.

by colored do you mean a black person?

cause some black people are offended by that.

this explains why.

there will be some people offended by any word you use...
although the term 'colored' or even 'negro' has fallen out of popular usage in America does not mean everyone has to use that specific term.

i prefer to call caucasian people colorless. 😀

Any word can be made to be offensive...

Thus all words are relative to the person who is listening to it being said.

Well then, you must spend a good portion of your day getting offended 😉

Well, I'm not quit sure how to put this, but the Aryan Cousinhood IS the Aryan Brotherhood and the Aryan Sisterhood, if you catch my drift.

Wouldn't you say "offending" is one form of "bothering"?

 

[jadinolf]

It's offensive to moi.

 

[fitzov]

mere words are nothing without context

if some "person of color" were to say it to me, and he wasn't joking, I think I might get pissed

I always put African American on forms since my ancestors (Celtic & Prussian)only spent the last 200,000 years in Europe but the 2 million years before that in Africa.


LOL - I used to work for an Egyptian Doctor who said he was African.

I knew a white guy who's family was from South Africa (several generations) an American University kicked him out after finding out he was white because he claimed African on his admitance forms.

He is suing them - citing that he is more African than most African Americans.

IF true i really hope he wins big time.

would it matter if the app asked for nationality or race?

If it asked for nationality, he'd put South Africa, and African Americans would put American...

Now race, you'd have a point.

well if he was born in Africa and moved the US to get citizenship. eh would then be African American.

BTW - It was actually a co-workers brother - and he lost his case. He did have dual citizenship American & South African. They probably kicked him out for being a gay Jewish paraplegic republican anyways.
