So I was thinking a few days ago. Why do we call other races by false adjectives? Take for instance African-Americans. That is the politically correct way to describe their ethinicity. But it is incorrect. They are the same race as us - humans. We're all humans. Race and species are the same in my mind. It's not called the race of mankind by accident. They were not born in Africa, but rather here. What would we say about others not born from where their genes come from (not in the biblical sense)? Should we call people Japanese-Americans, Asian-Americans, Canadian-Americans, Mexican-Americans, French-Americans? NO! They are who they are. If they were born in this country they are Americans, plain and simple. If they were born in a different country than they should be known by that, not a diluted form. Thus we have Japanese living in America, Mexicans living in America, etc. Technically all us white people are European-Americans because that is where we came from. But we're not called that. We're Americans. Why can't people get that through their heads? Why must they be such idiots as to label everything incorrectly? Black, white, pink, brown, tan, pale. These, although crude, are at least true, since they describe skin color. I mean, wtf is caucasian? I apparently am, and I didn't learn that until I started taking standardized tests. On a different note, why do many institutions teach tolerance? By implication, to tolerate means you are putting up with something you can't stand. Why not teach acceptance like other places? Acceptance that things are the way they are. If you want to make a big fuss then change things. But to accept something over tolerate it is much better in my opinion. Instead of not liking somebody and putting up with their problems, accept the fact that they messed up, have problems, and you can choose to help them or not. A lot of things are a two-way choice like that, even though people don't see it that way. All done for today.
