[QUOTE="Emelee, post: 122337, member: 73"] In an ideal world, we could all be on the same level. However, the world is far from ideal. So if we want to change things, we ought to stay away from calling those of less privilaged group names. Just to stay away from adding more fuel to the fire. I don't mind having restrictions of what I can say or not say to black people, gay/bi/queer people, people of other religions etc. It doesn't restrict my life in any way. I'd just feel incredibly mean & racist if I did say certain things! I prefer never to feel that. I am kind to myself that way. Roseanne obviously feels that she's better than others because she's a white non-muslim. So in her mind, it must be perfectly ok to say it too. She's "just honest". But in a world full of political correctness, poor thing can't be honest and opened about being so much better than darker-skinned people or muslims. [/QUOTE]
