Taking ourselves too seriously
The sensitivities of all people, me included, are due for a little toughening.
How have we gotten to this?
Halloween Costume Correctness on Campus: Feel Free to Be You, but Not Me
I grew up with cultural insensitivity. Hillbillies, being the brunt of others' humor themselves, swing free and wide with their humor both gross and polite.
I challenge anyone who does not emit a chuckle at a good ethnic joke.
Well, no. the humorless and austere, our new churches, have no fucking sense of humor least of all about themselves.
I love faggot jokes.

You must have chuckled at least once. Good for you. I did.
That last one was in a movie I saw the other day. The barstool one.
What the fuck has happened to us?
As for the costumes, well, around here the sombrero would be taken as headgear for a special day and the serape would be used by mostly women as a "winter time" garment.
Sure, there is nothing funny about an epithet or hate filled speech but it is not the words.
Humor leavens the tension between those who are different from one another. Long live insensitivity.
