&lt;p&gt;These days anything that white, middle class, Christian North Americans or Europeans say about ANY minority is termed racist, bigoted, politically incorrect, and just plain wrong. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But put the shoe on the other foot, and we&amp;#39;re fair game! Here is one quick example!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Female students at a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=410312&amp;amp;in_page_id=1770&quot;&gt;new Islamic school in England&lt;/a&gt; will be made to wear head scarves regardless of their religion, it was revealed yesterday.&amp;nbsp; The Madani High School in Leicester will be required by law to accept 10 per cent of its 600 pupils from a non-Muslim background. But, girls who are not Muslim will still have to abide by a rule insisting all female pupils cover their heads as part of the uniform.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In North American, society&amp;#39;s minorities are now calling the shots on what is acceptable or not to the general population&amp;nbsp;although there seems&amp;nbsp;to be a growing backlash to being &amp;quot;politically correct.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(This, by the way, is also why in&amp;nbsp;the masthead of my blog&amp;nbsp;I refer to my self as a White, Anglo-Saxon Protestant, middle aged, hetrosexual male - an &amp;quot;endangered species.&amp;quot; I used to be part of the great majority but am slowly becoming marginalized.)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here is what it is coming down to!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*We are now African American, Mexican American, Asian American, Arab American, Native American, etc. And when you pass me on the street you sneer in my direction. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*You call me Whitey, Cracker, Honky, - and that&amp;rsquo;s O.K. But when I call you Nigger, Kike, Towel Head, Sand-Monkey, Camel Jockey, Gook or Chink........... you call me a racist. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*You have BET. If we had WET(White Entertainment Television) we&amp;rsquo;d be racists. If we had a White Pride Day you would call us racists. If we had White History Month, we&amp;rsquo;d be racists. If we had any organization for only whites to &amp;ldquo;advance&amp;rdquo; our lives, we&amp;rsquo;d be racists. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;*If we had a college fund that only gave white students scholarships, you know we&amp;rsquo;d be racists. There are over 60 openly proclaimed Black Colleges in the US, yet if there were &amp;ldquo;White colleges&amp;rdquo; that would be a racist college.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;*Women want to be equal to men in every way and yet&amp;nbsp;we are&amp;nbsp;still expected to hold the door for&amp;nbsp;you and pay for our date. (Whether&amp;nbsp;you even go on a date depends on the type of car I drive.)&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*In the Million Man March, you believed that you were marching for your race and rights. If we marched for our race and rights, you would call us racists. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*You are proud to be black, brown, yellow and orange, and you&amp;rsquo;re not afraid to announce it. But when we announce our white pride, you call us racists. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;*We are not allowed to say &amp;quot;Mery Christmas&amp;quot; anymore in case this offends Muslims or Jews or Buddhists. Now it&amp;#39;s just &amp;quot;Happy Holidays&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;Best of the Season!&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;*We are not allowed to pray in our institutions or declare; &amp;quot;so help me God,&amp;quot; in our courts! We are not allowed to erect a nativity scene outside of City Hall or in front of public buildings.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;*At the same time non-Mulsim girls have to cover their heads&amp;nbsp;out respect&amp;nbsp;for the Islamic ladies in their school and minorities get hired ahead of better qualified&amp;nbsp;people to insure an equitable &amp;quot;ethnic mix&amp;quot; amongst our co-workers.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;I hope you get my point, it&amp;#39;s&amp;nbsp;turning into a&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;one way street&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;where &amp;quot;minorities&amp;quot; can condemn,&amp;nbsp; criticize and call the shots, but not the other way around! &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One of the best examples of this was a few years back here in Canada when an East-Indian Sikh joined the Mounties. He knew what the terms and conditions were going in, but then once he was accepted he suddenly started claiming his &amp;quot;right&amp;quot; to wear a &amp;quot;Turban&amp;quot; on religious grounds rather than the standard Mountie &amp;quot;Hat!&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If he wasn&amp;#39;t willing to conform to the rules he should have stated so at the beginning and not pulled a sneak attack&amp;nbsp;after he was hired. (By the way, the courts allowed him to keep the &amp;quot;Turban!&amp;quot;)&lt;/p&gt;
