Imagine if anybody linked Obama any kind of animal?
So why is it OK one way but not the other?
Because diversity is royal and supreme with black being at the top of the totem pole. And a view is diverse if it's liberal. Otherwise it is considered non-diverse and just Hitler talk.
So in my office we are all Latino (you know the brown kind) and White. If you called us all orangutans, people would probably just laugh at you and you wouldn't get fired. There is no historical association with orangutans used as a demeaning and racist slur against Latinos or White people. To me it would be as offensive as calling me an elephant, squirrel, or sloth. However, that is not the same for African-Americans unfortunately.
With that being said, let's take the word ***** (b word). Call a man a *****, and 99.9% of the time no one will care, and most likely laugh it off, or just find you trashy at most. Call a woman a *****, and guess what, that's really offensive and justifibly so.
Why is that? You see the word ***** historically is not associated or linked negatively to men, but it has been to women for a very long time. So basically this is the same deal and different of calling Trump an Orangutan, and calling Obama an ape.
Latino ain't a race even tho especially the more Indian mixed Hispanics try to claim that nonsense. I know many "Hispanics" who claim anglo white as their race cause they hate la raza.
You can demean and insult an individual all day long. Regardless of race, ethnicity, or religion.
You just cannot use words that were historically used to demean a person BECAUSE of their race, ethnicity, or religion. Or their gender.
It's really very simple.
And, it has nothing to do with the ERA. How bizarre to even bring that up.
You mean there isn't a double standard? Read my post again. I did not reference the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA). I referenced the Equal Right Movement. That movement led by Martin Luther King in the 1960's.
