Mow like a Mexican..... Oh wait, not those animals.

it's still a word that can carry a racial meaning
Now that's just talking like a weasel
It fucking kills me when people try to make shit more than what it is.
TRUE STORY- Blazers in Phoenix 2 seasons ago. Players out on the court shooting around about 5pm. Coach Vanterpool sit s next to me and we start talking about how the game will go later that night. Im talking about how the Morris twins react on pick n roll situations and I use the term, "Morris Boys"........ as I say this, that ass hat Jabari Young from CSN walks by, stops, looks at me and with the dirtiest tone and face says, "YOU aren't allowed to say that!" I say, "Say what?" He says, "YOUR people aren't allowed to say the word boys!"
Let me tell you that The HCP was heated! It took all my strength not to call him out big time on that. Just another fool in this world trying to stir up shit!
Horseshit.America folks. Where one day, you wont have an opinion or unique personality. You will be TOLD what to say and think and what is right. Brought to you buy the PC police.

fuck like rabbits, swim like a fish, big as a whale, sly as a pokerdog
THAT'S an OUTRAGE!PC police is too strong a term, but there is a group of bloggers, and people that live on Twitter that are outraged about something new every few days.

Funny how in Western countries dogs are generally liked but comparisons to dogs are generally negative.
...
Dogged is about the only positive, and even that is equivocal.
I believe those are Langston Hughes words...he invented the language of jazz pretty much in his heydayThe Brits also say the cat's pajamas for something really good; on our side of the pond it's more the cat's meow. Seems to me cat's purr would be more apt.
If that cracka ass cracka Sir Mix a Lot hadn't coined that term racial relations would be better. Fucking white people.Seems the PC police moved to a new target pretty quickly:

Sorry if this gets the thread moved to OT, but this is kinda funny.
You make a lot of really good points, but I'm old and was called a little monkey when growing up. I used to call my youngest son one because he climbs all over the place. Now that I have black children living with me I don't do that anymore. What sucks is that I don't do it because of the racial undertones, but I meant nothing by it when I said it.
It's almost to the point where I'd be afraid to say the word monkey at the zoo because someone would take it the wrong way
Is it because the country is too PC?

FUCK that noise. Do you still use the term Welched? Gypped? If you do stop. If you don't WHY don't you?
That's right. Out of respect.
Now lets end the thread...
I actually do use both of those terms. He welched on a bet. I feel like I got gypped.
I have also said hip, hip, hooray, which is an anti semetic term. I say rule of thumb, which is awful. Peanut gallery is a negative term. Like the others, certainly not what I mean by it.
I mean the word frog is an insult to French people. There is a damn Mexican restaurant chain called Gringo's. Taffy is an insult to someone from Wales. Don't say that word.
My point is, at some point there will be no words that anyone will be able to say for fear of insulting someone.
Horseshit.
No one has been told what to think. No one has been told what to say. No one has been arrested by PC police. There are no shortage of opinions being expressed right here. A person made an insensitive comment without realizing the historic context, he apologized, and idiots got very upset, not by the original thoughtless remark, but by the apology. Because I guess REAL MEN never apologize. That is too PC. You know, what we used to call, polite.

Hah, keep telling yourself that. It's already happening. You're against illegal immigration = you're a racist. You don't like transgender bathrooms or people = you're a bigot.
Participation trophies so people don't feel "bad".
list goes on and on.
Eventually, there will be no other opinion than the one that makes you feel all nice and cozy.
Pretty much this. Everyone is getting offended about some shit now-a-days. Social justice warriors unite!
dviss is of course 100% correct. If a word offends someone we shouldn't use it. The problem is words offend different people, and sometimes for reasons other people don't understand.
My son got in a fight yesterday at school because someone told a cancer joke. It's an amusing joke, but my son said hey, not cool. Don't joke about cancer. The guy, not knowing that my son has dealt with my crap, told him to go fuck himself, and he'd say what he wants. Said something else and boom, fight was on.
A couple of years ago, my son probably wouldn't have raised an eyebrow to the joke, or may have chuckled. When does it stop?
