Never would have guessed that a group like this one would need a kill
file.

I, for one, would like to defend Stormin Mormon. Suppose he were
Chinese. (I'm not saying he _is_ Chinese because I do not wish to
stereotype _all_ Chinese people as being just like him.)

But if he _were_ Chinese, it would be in terrible taste to tell him to
launder his humor. If you found fault with him because you assumed he's
_not_ Chinese, doesn't that reinforce the prejudice that Chinese people
should be treated differently?


The trouble with political correctness is that it breeds a bunch of
pussies. One day when we have everything so that no ones feelings are
hurt France is going to invade and take over.

When political correctness was not such a "thing" we had a lot more respect.
