The Politically Correct Idiots

 And there are so many out there.  I really don't understands them, and I don't think I ever will (a lot of these people are part of the Multigenerational Liberal Guilt party).  There are those idiots who want schools to NOT teach western culture, because it doesn't encourage people from non-western backgrounds to learn.  But wait, doesn't that keep these individuals in the dark, then?  Also, what if you're from a non-western ethnicity, but western music (say) is part of a middle class upbringing?  I don't know of a SINGLE Chinese Canadian, save for those who came prior to the 1960s and/or are from small towns who are were not exposed to piano or violin in grade school.  I really want to know what the politically correct ranters have to say about that.  I also want them to comment on whether they think not teaching or exposing kids to the classics - all sorts of classics - is a danger to them, something that makes them stupid.  Media always comment on the radical right and how they're dumbing down society.  Since the politically correct tend to be on the left of things, maybe they need to take a good look at themselves.

Latin lovers fight to keep the language in Ontario’s schools

Latin lovers fight to keep the language in Ontario’s schools

I'm glad that they kept Latin in the curriculum. I had a great time learning the language, even though it was only for one year. Honestly, I know EXACTLY who the idiots who think keeping Latin in the curriculum is "too Eurocentric" are. I know them, and they're usually multigenerational Canadians who just want to be "extra-sensitive" or less likely, militant non-muligenerational Canucks. They often don't know much about people from other cultures, except those they work with. They don't "get" that many people from other non-European cultures are and have been learning European-based languages, arts and so forth for years. They don't seem to get that for many, it's actually part of the culture. I mean, have these idiots checked out their kids' schools stage bands/orchestras lately (and when I mean lately, I mean, like the past 20 years)? Unless one is from a small, all-white town, it's unlikely that the school band isn't at least 30-40% Asian.

The politically-correct nuts are ruining good, polished culture as we know it. Excluding traditionally European languages, arts and customs from the curriculum (and not really spending much time introducing non-European culture to MOST SCHOOLS) in the name of multiculturalism and political correctness does nothing but make our children less polished and sophisticated. I mean, in addition to the awful styles kids and young adults are wearing and people's lack of table manners knowledge (especially if they're over the age of FIVE) the lack of exposure to any kind of music other than what's on the radio (don't always blame the school curriculum really makes a lot of kids look even more idiotic than certain individuals who're in politics today (I'm looking at YOU Rob Ford and Sarah Palin!). Parents could have done their job by turning the radio onto stations that play other things or for the past 10-15 years, GO ONLINE. 

I'm beginning to think that I should run for office.  Maybe I can get rid of the idiots who are in charge of things right now. 

Do You Get It?

Why is it that some cultures adapt to "mainstream" Canadian culture quicker than others? And why do people criticize non-Anglos who ummm...Anglicize? They're not exactly losing their culture, are they? Honestly, the worst offenders are often older Anglo types who think they're being politically correct by bringing up old country cultures or by new Canadians who come from very traditional cultures. Why is that, anyway? Why are people so...ignorant? The worst offender was a young woman of about 30 who grew up in Toronto and had immigrant parents. It was as if she didn't talk to anyone at school. Yeah...she asked me if I was going to have an arranged marriage. WTF?? She GREW UP IN TORONTO (Scarborough, actually)! She SHOULD know that Chinese Canadians DO NOT have arranged marriages.
