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.
But put the shoe on the other foot, and we're fair game! Here is one quick example!
Female students at a new Islamic school in England will be made to wear head scarves regardless of their religion, it was revealed yesterday. 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.
In North American, society's minorities are now calling the shots on what is acceptable or not to the general population although there seems to be a growing backlash to being "politically correct."
(This, by the way, is also why in the masthead of my blog I refer to my self as a White, Anglo-Saxon Protestant, middle aged, hetrosexual male - an "endangered species." I used to be part of the great majority but am slowly becoming marginalized.)
Here is what it is coming down to!
*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.
*You call me Whitey, Cracker, Honky, - and that’s O.K. But when I call you Nigger, Kike, Towel Head, Sand-Monkey, Camel Jockey, Gook or Chink........... you call me a racist.
*You have BET. If we had WET(White Entertainment Television) we’d be racists. If we had a White Pride Day you would call us racists. If we had White History Month, we’d be racists. If we had any organization for only whites to “advance” our lives, we’d be racists.
*If we had a college fund that only gave white students scholarships, you know we’d be racists. There are over 60 openly proclaimed Black Colleges in the US, yet if there were “White colleges” that would be a racist college.

The headscarf is part of this schools uniform - what is the big deal- Any school which implements a school uniform expects its pupils to abide by it.

Yep, it's the end of the world as we know it.
Always has been.
"I hope you get my point, it's turning into a one way street where "minorities" can condemn, criticize and call the shots, but not the other way around!"
Wait a few years, when the Hispanics will be the majority, then you too can finally condemn, criticize and call the shots.
