Dearest Land of my Birth...
The United States has produced/encouraged a great many things that we may find use for.
The term "person/people of color*" is not one of them.
If not in the USofA, please be sticking to the previously accepted, innocuous, and 99.9% more accurate "ethnic minorities", or the newer "of X heritage".
Much appreciated.
If you must...
I do not come from the land of color*, I am not made of color*, I have no intention to strive for/interact with only a single colour, and I definitely do not live off my "colour".
Also, metaphor time, if an udderless cow craps on my doorstep I don't want to keep it. Rearranging the shape of the pile on my doorstep will not stop it being bullshit.
And it always looks grammatically incorrect to me.
In other news:
- Hello internet life, it's been a while. How's the not answering emails/facebook/lj guilt trip going?
- Professor Brian Cox calling people "nobbers" on his twitter feed always makes me smile.
- David Faustino seems to do little more than sleep on his.
- When did Flashforward get really good? It's so going to get canned now.
- And Mr Fiennes still indicates he mostly got the hair of the family.
- It's that "aw, isn't he cute" BBC weather presenter.
- Wowser.
- Watched Good. It was okay.
- Reminded me to get a Jason Isaacs icon.
- Doesn't he look a lot like that guy from the original Queer as Folk in it?
*deliberate US spelling because it triggers an excellent Greasemonkey text replace script. Currently replaces it with "of cheese". Was going to have "of awesome" instead, but self-depreciated kicked in.
So British.
