Am I Insensitive? A Facebook Post
2020-07-31
An original post by Rantburg’s own Raj. Ignore the link, dear Reader, he just pasted that in the source box as filler.
So I'm on FB for the past couple of hours because, as I'm setting up the next class reunion for what should've been an event next week (I'm class CIO now), I decided to delay the reunion because a report came over saying the place I usually hold it had multiple cases of the dreaded Chink Virus. Event's been moved back to mid-October.

I then saw another post on a local Quincy site and, since I have a partial death wish (or maybe I don't give a rat's ass anymore), I decided to post on some wankers asking the following - 'We're doing a survey on a name for a group dedicated to minorities' or some such shit in order to find out how fast I get tossed from that FB group. Naturally I gave my two cents (in an effort to find out how fast I get tossed) and offered up the following:

"How about 'Special People In Communities ($PIC)' ?" No immediate feedback as of right now...

#8  Insensitive, maybe. But so what?

Accusations of "insensitivity," like "racism," "sexism," "islamophobia," "homophobia," etc., have been leveled with such reckless abandon that they are essentially meaningless anymore.

Screw the professionally aggrieved and the strategically thin-skinned; their butt-hurts are not our problem and I don't give a candy-coated crap of they're offended by anything I do.

#6  I checked around 10:30 this morning - yep; got the heave-ho. Is there a merit badge for that?

#5  Not insensitive. Just a realist Raj. November should give an indication of just how fed up people are with all left-wing crap.

#2  Pretty close - Hingham's two towns over.

Also, to the mods - my belated apologies for the rant in one of the comment sections. It's an understatement to say how frustrated I was at that point, so thanks for putting up with my crap.
