[QUOTE="khiser, post: 482417, member: 90131"] Since we are being "PC" I would like to not use a "white version" and instead call it "low contrast" :) This crap has to stop! So.... - if I drive a dark gray truck I need to tell you it is a "high contrast" gray? - if the sun is out I have to tell you it is a "low contrast" day? - if I am standing next to a white guy I have to call him "low contrast"? (oh wait that would need to be a white person and not a white guy) - if a police officer asks me to describe the robber I would have to either call them "high contrast" or "low contrast" in color? (oh wait can I say "color"?) - so if a black cat crosses my path I have to say that I will have bad luck because of a "high contrast" cat? What makes the cat "high contrast"? Is it because it smiled at me with it's "low contrast" teeth? - so does that mean the US has it's first "high contrast" President? Ok...as you can see I am saying these things with tongue-in-cheek but come on. How dumb is political correctness? No wonder no one knows where they stand with anyone else because we have all gotten to scared to call a spade a spade. (Note: if something is an attack then that does not fall under PC but rather treat those as you wish to be treated) [/QUOTE]
