Not too far off the mark !

I just received this from a friend in Canada, a pretty fair assessment I think.

....................


The following is a recap of my current identity:






I was born white, which makes me a racist.
I am a fiscal and moral conservative, which makes me a fascist.
I am heterosexual, which makes me a homophobe.
I am non-union, which makes me a traitor to the working class and an ally of big business.
I am older than 60 and retired, which makes me a useless old fart.
I think and I reason; therefore I doubt much that the main stream media tells me, which makes me a reactionary.
I am proud of my heritage and our inclusive Canadian culture, which makes me a xenophobe.
I value my safety and that of my family; therefore I appreciate the police and the legal system, which makes me a right-wing extremist.
I believe in hard work, fair play, and fair compensation according to each individual's merits, which makes me anti-social.
If I utter anything besides the subject of the weather, I'm politically incorrect.
I believe in the defense and protection of Canada by all citizens, which makes me a militarist.
Please help me come to terms with this, because I‘m not sure who I am anymore!
Newest problem – I'm not sure which bathroom I should use.

Brilliant Clumsy, and along with I'm sure, another dozen or so "phobics", it would do for being a Brit as well !!

Re: Not too far off the mark !

It does rather "hit home" doesn't it?

Re: Not too far off the mark !

An excellent piece ... thank you Clumsy

Re: Not too far off the mark !

Welcome Rachel. It was sent to me by a Canadian friend. I thought it was pretty accurate too.

Re: Not too far off the mark !

See how wound up we all are?

Who caused it? Anti-Racist.

I was looking for the opposite word to racist but could only find:

Tolerant
Fair
Impartial
Unbiased
Unprejudiced

So is that how the woman on TV was acting?

Re: Not too far off the mark !

That's excellent, Clumsy.

I've kept a copy and changed 'Canadian' to 'British' and it fits me to a T. Worth spreading the word.

Re: Not too far off the mark !

I agree it is well worth spreading the word.
Enough is enough, we surely cannot keep being castigated .

Re: Not too far off the mark !

True. We're becoming second class citizens in our own country.

Re: Not too far off the mark !

I know many people who have been saying that for years.
