One of the driving engines behind this is the idea that we should be free to say and do anything we want \u2026 as long as it doesn\u2019t offend anyone.\u00a0 In this case<\/a>, we\u2019re learning that Halloween costumes should not showcase \u2018racial stereotypes\u2019.\u00a0 Of course what they say are racist stereotypes could once have been culturally distinctive outfits*.\u00a0 But for young people growing up in a nation that considers racism as the only evil in the world, and concludes that anything said about anyone non-American must be racist based (since America is always a racist nation doncha know), then obviously a girl dressed like a geisha, or a person dressed in Mexican garb, must only be a racist. <\/p>\n

This, of course, despite the sad fact that racism, like religion, played a proportionately small part in the tens of millions butchered and slaughtered in the last century.\u00a0 Fact is, most atrocities arose from the desire to punish and purge people over political, social, national, and economic philosophies and ideals, along with the usual greed and lust for power that has plagued mankind from the beginning. <\/p>\n

In any event these are American college students, raised to believe America is ever and always a racist nation, everything it does is racism, and racism is the sole cause of suffering in the world.\u00a0 So they embrace the logical conclusion of post-modern thanking: Censorship.\u00a0 It\u2019s time to demand that we stop offending people.<\/p>\n

Naturally, we all know that if we don\u2019t do anything that might offend someone, we\u2019ll end up doing nothing at all.\u00a0 Realizing this, we will have to qualify this, if not officially, by simply saying we can\u2019t offend the important people.\u00a0 Offending the bad or unimportant people is just fine.\u00a0 Especially people who stand in the way of our right to sex, drugs, and more bathroom humor.\u00a0 And that, kiddies, is where the oppression and terror of tomorrow is born as a new group of young\u2019uns determine just who does have stars on their bellies, and who doesn\u2019t. <\/p>\n

*By the way, this is all after I know some folks who went to a Halloween party the last weekend.\u00a0 What were some of the costumes?\u00a0 One was a Latin American dressed in \u2018stereotypical\u2019 dress (he based it on a costume worn in a restaurant he knew of back in Mexico), and a Catholic girl dressed up in a mocked-up nun outfit.\u00a0 And?\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
