No matter what term you use to describe race someone's going to get PO'd. You'll never win at that game. Just avoid describing people based on their race altogether and you'll be fine.

That's better than being a PC sissy who wilts at any bit pressure from the PC police.

The political correctness trend is out of hand. It's very sad that some people go along with it instead of coming to their senses and making a stand.

I'm far from PC, but I don't get off by randomly insulting people based on their race.

Calling someone white, black, chinese, indian, african or pakistani is insulting? I wouldn't honestly use a slur to someone in real life, but if someone demanded to be called "African American" then I'd demand to be called "European-American"

You are unemployed lazy ass bum, aren't you who wants to blame everything on others rather than accepting his/her own incompetency.

Pakistani != Middle Eastern

In fact, not even all Indians are one ethnic group. Indian is a nationality and so is Pakistani.

Huh? How did I get owned?

I asked the Presence what he was talking about and he told me. Are you hallucinating again, or are you just hanging off Che's nuts, fighting the power?

Let me simulate how Proletariat acts:

customer: "how much is this 6 pack of soda?"
store clerk: "That will be $3."
Proletariat, on the side of the store, wacking off to a picture of Che in Mad Magazine: "HA HA HA You got 0wned hahaha"
customer and store clerk: "Huh?"
