I’m currently attending a community college in CA and need to fit in more. Please help me become more PC!!!

For example Mexicans are now “Chicanos”

African-Americans are still African-Americans

Handicapped are “physically challenged students”

blind are “visually impaired students”

trannies are “transgender students”

gays and lesbos are “alternative lifestyle students”

I am about to write a paper on my experience in College and I don’t want to offend anyone!!! Please give me some more pointers:

America is not number one.

The White Male is the devil.

Europe is better than the U.S.

Eurocentric is out, AFROCENTRIC is in.

no human is “illegal”

George Bush. (I don’t even want to get into that)

WHAT ELSE AM I MISSING????

P.S. I’m kidding about the last group, but it seems as if I talk about what I’ve learned in my previous high schools in the suburbs, I get laughed at!! Has the world changed that much in a year or are they focusing on the negative aspects of history and caucasions at the college level??

You’re totally missing the point that everything bad in the world is because of men (rather than women).

Jewish people are better than Christians, unless they live in Israel.

Nothing is anyone’s fault – it’s all to be blamed on corporations.

Nice rant, there. I think your not fitting in has more to do with you than with your background. I came from a religious family in Oklahoma to Berkeley and I never had the issues that you seem to be having.

If someone is mexican, special needs, transgender, homosexual or whatever shouldn’t have any bearing on your paper. They are just people, they don’t belong to some other species because they are different from you. If you would stop defining yourself and others perhaps you would “fit in” better. You are only complaining because you see yourself as better than these people and you don’t think it’s fair that you have to take their feelings into consideration.

That was an odd rant.

By the way, Mexicans are still Mexicans. Chicanos are actually from the Chicago area. Hispanics are of Latin American decent.

It was never about dragging the while male Caucasian down but giving credit to other groups as well.

Since you are writing about “your experience” in college, keep it factual and you don’t have to worry about being PC. PC is for people who embellish the truth or are writing fantasy.
