We can't deal with this
nebulousness. Give us
good or
evil,
white hats and
black hats. If we're going to discuss
racism, let's only talk about "
black" and "
white." Please don't introduce the topic of
Asians or
Hispanics or,
God forbid, some group we haven't even heard of. And let's all agree that
sexism is
evil, but not talk about how it hurts
men too. You have to believe in one
religion or another--
syncretism makes our heads hurt!
Gay? Fine! Just don't be, you know,
bisexual or something
complicated like that. Yes, we like our
ideas pre-packaged into neat little boxes.
No muss, no fuss. (If we close our eyes and
pray hard enough, maybe we can even get
quantum mechanics to just go away!)
(That was
sarcasm, son.)
