A Modest Proposal -

No.. not the pamphlet-based satire written by J. Swift.
You see, I've spent my life being called "white" and "caucasian" and I just really find those terms to be offensive and derogatory. I mean, my ancestors who may not have even owned slaves were referred to as "white" and sometimes "caucasian" or even - and most horribly - "cracker." My skin is not white, it is more of a pinkish color. True, neither my parents nor grandparents are from Europe, but somewhere down the line that's where I got my skin color, so I'd really appreciate being called a European-American or - if that is too long - a Eur-Am.
I am asking that the mods of this forum enforce their policy against racial slurs more fairly and extend their enforcement to the word "cracker." I understand that culture is a difficult thing to change, so I can be accepting of being called "white" or "caucasian." But really, since these words are so offensive to me, I'd really prefer to be called European-American. Too long have the racist African-Americans, Asian-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, Native Americans, Eskimo-Americans, Indian-Americans, Hebrew-Americans, Arab-Americans, Indonesian-Americans, Polynesian-Americans and Phillipino -Americans labeled me as simply being white. I will stand for this racial profiling, stereotyping and bigotry no longer.
Thank you.

Good thing everyone knows this is a joke happy:
But seriously, today I see the news about the Native American community flipping out because Outkast dressed up like an Indian for his performance at the Grammies. I mean, for fuck's sake. It's getting ridiculous.
I'm starting an anti-PC movement. I'll have a website up soon.

Well, you've got one Anglo-Australian backing you, that's for damned sure! rock:
Like, seriously, Over here, we have a brand of Cheese called 'Coon', and some damn Aboriginal was trying to get it's name changed because it's "offensive" oOo: .
He's one of these guys even the Aboriginal community think is a wanker. and I'm inclined to agree.

where did the term Cracker orginate from ?
-Back in the early 1900 before 1910 in a small back water hick town in Florida called Rosewood a white women was killed. The whitemen blamed it on the Blacks in their shantys down the way. They turned crazy and started on a masscre of Black's. Hunting them down like dogs in the forest killing as many as they could. They cracked up . hence the term cracker.". The funny thing is the real murderer was the Husband who killed his wife. Hence you now know where the term kracker came from. rock:

I heard it a different way;
That the term cracker came from the CRACK of the whips that went upon the slaves.
