1. People who get offended by EVERYTHING aka political correctness:
This blog has offended me.” – What, already? You’ve only read the first few lines! I’m just getting started…I can understand that we should be careful not to outwardly insult people at every opportunity, but it’s when we get all tongue-tied around people of a different race to our own because we can’t remember if its “black” or “coloured”, “Asian” or “Chinese” [although why we would need to state the race to the person we’re talking to, I’m not sure - “Ah hello, I see you’re Asian.”…]. Someone politically minded [Lembit Opik anyone?] should stop the political madness. It’s like when you’re in primary school and someone brings in a yo-yo and a week later every single child has a yo-yo; someone, somewhere, must have got offended irrationally and now the whole world has gone fad-crazy with solutions on how we can avoid that situation ever arising again. And the way to stop the madness? Stop getting offended when someone acknowledges that you’re white, stop getting offended for OTHER PEOPLE [“I am so offended that the disabled person just had to use the wheelchair access – they should be treated equally…”] and stop skirting around the subject – just say what you mean and say it with pride.
