Political Correctness

It occurs to me that PC is precisely bigotry directed at white males, particularly WASP’s.  It is OK to treat “them” as a monolithic group, and direct all forms of derision, mockery, prejudice and hate at them, in the abstract, in a process morphologically identical to those subsumed under the terms of racism, sexism, and classism.  This is what Jon Stewart did every night.

This is the ugly under-belly of the notion that NO criticism can be directed at, that no general statements can be made about, anyone BUT white male Christians.

Here is the thing: the principle that we all deserve, as individuals, to rise or fall in the esteem of others on our own merits is–or should be–absolute.  If you are a solid person, your race, gender, proclivity for male parts or female parts, or income, should not matter.  If you are a fuck up, likewise.

Nobody cares about white fuck-ups, and there are plenty of them.  Turns out, most white fuck-ups are OK with that.

The problem lies in that fuck-ups of other races have excuses made for them, when that is the last thing they need.  Failing is easy, always, and pushing through tough times is not.  If you make it easy to fail, you also make it harder to push through the tough times.  This helps no one.
