No, Virginia, “Professor” Is Not A Racial Slur
As this President’s Day rolls around I bet Honest Abe is rolling over in his grave due to some of the nonsense that’s going on in Washington D.C. in 2010.
Yesterday I heard that “professor” was a racial slur. Really? Derogatory in certain contexts, maybe. But racist? Give me a break.
Of course, this is coming from the political realm, so take that for what it is.
All I have to say is, GROW UP PEOPLE! If we don’t stop trying to turn everything into a pigment issue we’ll never achieve equality of any sort. We may achieve an overall switch of perceived “racial superiority” (which is just a wrong idea to start with), but we will never have true equality until we no longer see people for their gender and/or the color of their skin. [Insert your own John Mayer remark here...and he reportedly says that he needs to grow up.]
But this is coming from a crazy mostly “white” male that no one listens to. Go about your business.
