Quote: "But they even did a bit of that in Lost, when Hurley kept saying "the Chinese people this, the Chinese people that" and Michael finally corrected him "Dude, they're Korean." Hehehe."
I liked Hurley's bit: "So are you from the good Korea or the bad Korea?".
Quote: "What's wrong with saying black And if you tell me to call them African American I'll kick you, as they're not all of that descent."
From the legened Maddox himself...
Quote: "First of all, the label "African American" is the dumbest, most persistently used phrase in our vernacular. Every time you call someone an "African American," you're making at least two assumptions about the person:
1. That the person is an American. For example, if you saw this guy walking along on a street, you would probably think:
Note: there is no 'Arial African American' font, so I settled for the more oppressive 'Arial Black.'
...which is fine, except for one small detail: this man is British, which makes you a presumptuous cock.
2. That the person is African (because it's inconceivable that black people could come from Haiti, India, Trinidad, Dominican Republic, Brazil, Australia, or Jamaica). Nevermind that; BLACK PEOPLE ONLY COME FROM AFRICA.
Not to mention that every time you give a black person the distinction of being "African American" out of a mixed group, you're making an assumption about an entire continent; not everyone from Africa is black. I guarantee all you politically correct morons out there have never called a white person an African American. Of course you could avoid all these problems by using the same standards on blacks as you would on whites by simply assuming that all whites are from Africa just as you do for all blacks, but that might be too forward, and in a polite society like ours, people would be all too pleased to point out which of the 192 countries you didn't guess they were actually from.
