Maybe we all are taking words too personally. Maybe instead of BEING and EXPERIENCING PERSONHOOD, most of us are just PERFORMING our ETHNIC, etc., IDENTITIES?
Perhaps because of the "threat" of being called politically incorrect or being called racist, etc.,we fear imagination. Maybe that is why we complain, namely to get attention from social media, internet, etc. For myself, I am an equal opportunity insulter, I insult everyone, equally lol But, instead of GIVING insults, IMHO insults can only be TAKEN!.
BEING dishonored, BEING insulted, first requires PERSONHOOD, If you are your identity, your ethnicity, your religion, your gender, your class, your occupation, then you HAVE that IDENITY in place of your PERSONHOOD, your consciousness, your humanity, your HMMMMMMMM sense of humor!
Also, are people's LIVES really made more difficult by any racial or ethnic, etc., slur? Is it not true that you first must be a person, before you EXPERIENCE struggle, because CAN your EXPERIENCE ANYTHING? (Sort of like "being" a "CORPORATION", that is what identity is: a myth, a construct, an illusion!) If you have any identity then there is only a PERFORMANCE instead of an EXPERIENCE.
In other words,BEING (BEING VULNERABLE, BEING AT RISK, etc., ABSOLUTELY, PERSONALLY, etc., involves issues of ABSOLUTE immanent physical life and/or death, it involves your consciousness, etc. Anything else involves only QUALITY OF LIFE ISSUES.
I really want to know when "people" (maybe without consciousness and when we are without a sense of humor because we take our identities too seriously, we are pre-people?) are too culturally, etc., sensitive, and when are "people" taking words too seriously. For instance the #CancelColbert Campaign due to his satire RE: Ching Chong Ding Dong Foundation for Sensitivity to Orientals or Whatever, that was taken out of context when it was meant as a satirical parody of Dan Snyder's resistance to giving up the Washington Redskin's football team's name, and Snyder beginning the Washington Redskin Original American Foundation.
I want to "die" laughing, seriously lol
