She nails it.  Time to end identity politics and political correctness and move forward.

I agree. It is nice to hear someone sensible on TV, it has been a while.

 

Edit:  Sad... I just realised this video was posted in 2014. Well, there you go, that is how long it has been.

Yeah it is old but it applies even more so today than it did back then.  I've been listening to some of her stuff.  She's really good and level headed.  A lesbian muslim indian/egyptian immigrant from Uganda who has a Canadian citizenship.

About as diverse as it gets.

Let me guess, a Lebanese Canadian with a Swedish passport...

Here is your answer.

FYI, white grievance politics IS identity politics.

I dont need an old cis white male to tell me what to think.  Check your privilege.

I would say this is peak CVON stupidity but I'm sure you didn't even listen to 30 seconds of this woman (you racist sexist homophobe Southerner).  If you aren't even going to give her 5 minutes then just don't bother replying.

Meh. There hasn't been a society on earth that didn't have rules.

"Political correctness" is just one faction of society who got to make the rules on what's "correct" telling another faction of society that their rules are "politically correct", but not actually correct, because only one side gets to set the rules.

She didn't suggest there shouldn't be rules.

you think you’re being edgy posting this stuff but first of all she’s Canadian and second of all this is from 2014.  She’s putting forth a tired argument that doesn’t hold up in the real world.

So you listened to it and your post really was peak CVON stupidity

 

note: She's lived the US for 15 years (or something like that)

I was responding to what you wrote about it being "time to end political correctness." which kinda implies that there was some awesome generation of people at some point who didn't have parts of their society or identity that were "politically correct".

Oh ok.  No, I simply mean we've seen enough of this intense wave of it.  I agree though that it always exists at some level, yes.

Doc, you really didn’t remember that you wrote about political correctness in your original post?

So Biden will ask most of his "identity" cabinet picks to resign and hire people who are qualified and disregard their identity.....sure that is going to happen.....

it comes down to whether people are engaging in good faith. the problem is that most are not. on all sides.

I can have a discussion with someone who thinks multiculturalism is not good if they're basing their argument on merit, and not just grievance, and they are willing to actually engage in a real discussion about it on the merits. 

I can also have a discussion with a crazy woke intersectionalist who's in their 2nd year of college and thinks they've uncovered all the flaws their parents' generation left behind, as long as they're willing to engage in a real discussion and actually give and take.

I cannot have a discussion with someone who sidesteps any argument made by me as a "cis white dude" by telling me that it's not my place to argue something. Nor can I have a debate with a white nationalist populist who thinks white men are the most aggrieved party in the country today, and whose cognitive dissonance will not allow them to see any other reality.

Amen.  The race baiting, critical race theory and resulting cancel culture in this country has to be stopped.  My kids literally never even noticed the differences in their classmate's skin color before they started learning about "white privilege" in school.
