Apparently, nowadays, mentioning someone's race alone is racist...WTF? Is there anything shameful about the race in question? No? Then mentioning it is fine unless you are attaching something shameful to the race in question (and not just someone who just happens to be both).
OP mentions the race of the SPOs among other details in post, here comes the wank! Damn I wish I had a journalfen account, but for the people reading this who does, report away!
As for why PC Idiocy is harmful (other than the whole thoughtless enforced image as opposed to true at heart progressiveness), see the sexual assault report example brought up there as well:
The man happened to be hispanic and I related this fact as well as details about his car.
One girl took great offence to this-basically went on this diatribe about how racist people are and what matter did his race have to do with anything and how doing that will give hispanic men a bad name, etc...
.....
Sorry, but in some cases its needed. If a man tries to pull me into his car, I am going to tell you his race, height, weight, ANY detail to warn others that there may be a dangerous man around. Granted, this girl doesnt go to my college so it may not be relevant to her specifically...I was basically reiterating exactly what I told the campus police. Yet I got yelled at for being a horrible racist for doing so. Thanks to the PC Police:
A few months ago a "man in a red shirt" attacked/raped a girl on the college campus. That was the extent of the physical description that the news/police would give us. Great. Thanks, PC-Squad! (As a woman and a racial minority granted, "high bracket", whatever that means, dude does it tempts all those room I still have in my yard to know that some clueless foo are so thoughtlessly determined to appear like progressives, they would rather put the safety of women in jeopardy. *sporks*)
As much details as possible, this includes colour of the skin as well as shape of the face and size and distinct between its features, height, built...(OMG, you discriminate against thin/fat people!)
The dumbest thing on earth is, there were two cases of SPOs in this SPO post, one set of little kids (OMG age discrimination!), were black, another, were white, and both of these were mentioned, and some people choose to jump all over the black part. The OP was...quite crude afterwards, but I don't think the OP has crossed the line yet considering the people he was being crude to.
Some people nowadays do go out of their way to feel like somebody offended them (or their group), or feel offended on somebody's behalf, instead of heat seeker missiles the military should consider wrapping these wankers in C4 and telling them the target might have said something about them that might just be offensive. It'll be a hit made faster than a speeding bullet!
