Hell if I were a slave trader I'd be on the first boat to Japan.

I'm white, so it's not really my call to make on any front.

I do find it funny that more progressive circles are taking to "people of color" as the de facto politically correct terminology and yet Belvedere Coldercrotch refers to "colored people" and has to make a formal apology to the public for it. Despite the fact that the only difference at all between "people of color" and "colored people" is syntax.

Sure it is, you're a human being. You have just as much right as anyone else.
It's the people who tell you what you can't talk about are the ones who can go **** themselves.

I talked to someone Hispanic once that completely jumped my throat for having the gall to even involve myself as a white person in a discussion about cultural appropriation. It was on Tumblr of course. There's definitely a point for me when it goes overboard, and there's definitely a preponderance of upper-middle class white kids majoring in gender/women's studies and/or sociology that drive that kind of mentality.

I won't put up with **** from people so wrapped up in identity politics that they forget what's really important, but at the same time, I still try to be respectful. Though I'm sure by the standards of most people around here, I'd come across as humorless and overly sensitive.
