Wordplay does not equal racism
Abstract:
I am a Polack. "Polack" is a racial epithet used to degrade someone of Polish descent.

They weren't happy that the Poles were willing to take on the harsh factory jobs that "socially conscious" Americans refused to do....

Dwight opined: "It is contrary to progress to spend our time being paranoid about using abbreviated versions of racial slurs in our language."
Kudoes to David for unmasking the intellectual fraud of this latest attempt at racial arson.
But let's not be naive. Leftists define "progress" as the destruction of western civilization. These racial arsonists are in the business of creating racial division. It is there lifeblood.
Check out "The Race Card" by David Horowitz (above hyperlinked) at your library.

Got to tell you this reminded me of a guy we called SKI in the army. He was polish to. We were having race relations classes and Ski kept demanding to be recognized as a minority.
When the classes instructor said what minority are you , you're white. Ski replied I am a Polack. LOL!
I am sorry if that name offends you , but look around you. There are people coming home with one leg. There are people of color who live a nightmare compared to your life every day.
In the grand scheme of things and prejudice and such , you are lucky.
So why not embrace it and cowboy up and realize you have it good.
You want to know what is killing America more than Racism.
BUTT KISSING POLITICAL CORRECTNESS.
Words only have the power you allow them to have. You wanna call me a honky , go right ahead. I'll live.
LOL!

You know what bugs me? People who use the word 'their' when they really mean to use the word 'they're'.

If their not posing themselves as your self appointed nannies they will quickly realize they have no need to exists at all.
BTW: Being a Polack doesnt qualify you as being of a different race.
