He has retired to a world of travel. I can't remember where this trip takes him except overseas.

What is the normally decent thing to do, if a person lets you know they don't like some particular label for themselves?

1. Don't refer to them with it.
2 Based on your belief they are wrong not to like it, use it. If they don't like it, it's their problem.

Ireland. Probably getting drunk.

Oh, my! Did I just stereotype the Irish by assuming that Finn must be drunk because he's in Ireland? Shame, shame on me for assuming all Micks are drunkar........... GAW!, Geez, I just did it again!

Or are YOU the bigot because I said these terrible things and YOU didn't stop me? Oh, this is so confusing!

You a bigot not me but as long as you recognize it's a start. Try harder next time or just feel comfortable being a hypocrite if you call others that in the future.

Apparently, if someone tells you they don't like being referred to with a particular label, this means they are the racist, because they are assuming you wish to call them that because you are white. Ipso-facto, they are making assumptions about you because of your color, therefore they are bigots who are bigoted against white bigots.........Oh, crap, there I go again. I assumed you are a bigot because you are white, so this must mean I hate white people.........

Wait a minute, I'M WHITE. Now, I'm bigoted against myself. Oy, oy, oy!

Doh! Did I just offend JEWISH people who wouldn't appreciate a Christian mocking them? Or, would that mean it's really the offended Jews that hate Christians whom they are assuming are anti-Semitic because of their mockery?

Ain't this Boogey a mess?

Dave
