Continued from the US Education thread...

How do we decide what words to use anymore in the PC world? I'm talking about black, coloured, retard etc etc.

In Medicine, I was learning about skulls and learnt it as Negroid, Caucasoid and Mongoloid +/- Australoid.
Later I used the term Mongoloid and was severly told off because you're not allow to use the term Mongoloid because it has non-PC connitations for Downs syndrome...
But these terms are still helpful in Forensic Anthropolgy...
So, someone decided to call Down's Syndrome people "Mongs" and it caught on and suddenly, the term Mongoloid wasn't allowed to be used anymore.

Same with Retard. Retardate was a word used in Medicine for many years (and still is with the STYCAR) , then people started to use the term "retard" derogatively. SO retard was struck off the language.

I can definietly understand how words like 'coloured' are offensive. Coloured creates an us and other polarisation.

The word 'black' has historical meaning... but if it didn't, would it still be offensive? Travelling in Africa, I got called "whitey". Is this racist? is it not racist because it doesn't have historical meaning and links to slavery and oppression?

Will we ever be able to 'claim' these words back?
i.e. can doctors use retardate again?
Or maybe can we decide that retardate ISN'T used to describe disabled/differently abled individuals and then youngsters are allowed to call each other 'retard' because it has taken on a whole new meaning in their language?

The word idiot had a similar history, being used to describe someone who was mentally deficient/differently abled (hell, even I don't know what terms to use) but now, most people could use idiot without someone saying "Hey, my borhter has a mental deficiency, I find that offensive" like would happen with the word retard.

Same goes for 'gay'.

When can we use these words? Should they be taken out of the language all together? Are they offensive if we use then in their original meaning i.e. retardate?

Mr Majestic: It is largely similar in SA. The view is that since indigenees were historically disadvantaged, they should be given preferential treatment when attempting to get jobs and so on.

They call it Affirmative Action. smirk

mmm, the irony is that while trying to help them, we're really only trying to turn them even more into us (by that i mean from their original culture toward western capitalism)

This stuff annoys me because I hate having to constantly police my vocabulary and figure out what I'm allowed to say. I'm a tiny white chick, 5'2" and about as pale as they get. That said is saying someone else is black racist somehow, or am I just being descriptive? I honestly have no idea.

During the election people in my class were all up and bothered about Obama (yeah, I'm American), and I did hear some people say "He's black" to which I would reply "No, he's a mulatto. He's half black, half white." A few people told me 'mulatto' was a racist term and multiracial is the proper term now. What the heck? I did keep using it.

As for 'retard', if it's a medical term I see no reason why it shouldn't be used in that context. Medicine doesn't have to be politically correct, in my opinion.

This is a current (well, since 1994) initiative. I do think that it has calmed down a little in some places.

Still, it is slightly annoying when looking for bursaries and all of them have something to the effect of "Preference will be given to HDIs" (Historically Disadvantaged Individuals).

Anyway, getting off-topic.

Considering the DDA doesn't use that word and the correct terms are developmentally disabled or developmentally challenged (I use to work for them) that word is fair although I'd never use it near a disabled person. yes

I also didn't know mulatto was a slur, but I'm sure these days when someone asks what I am if I said "mixed" like I always have that may be considered wrong as well. I say multiracial just to be clear to others that I'm not biracial (like the typical mullato, hapa, and other 2 race combinations). I didn't know that in America saying black was racist, it isn't where I'm from so that seems a touch out of control especially when they call themselves that with pride.

Affirmative action has invented a huge problem with reverse racism and I think it's a well intended, but horrible practice that should just stop because it's unequal and adds to social issues already existing. twocents

True in some cases, less so in others. When you look at most people my own age (early twenties) and younger, then in all probability (and at least in theory) they have received the same standard of education and the same opportunities for sport and other extramural stuff. It does not strike me as overly fair to penalise any particular group.

Looking at people of my parents' age on the other hand, there is a gap between those were sidelined because of race and those that were not.

Whether it is politically correct to consider either case a case of racism I do not know.

On the other hand, I will admit that my group of friends is fairly homogenous.

Minority status and affirmative action have been driving the issues here, do you have things similar to that in Australia where there are benefits to being a minority or indigenous?


One such example is crayfish licences.. or abalone licences... If you are Indigenous, then you get them for free/ridiculously cheap... If not then they are a few hundred dollars.

Now, seeing as there was no 'test' people were passing themselves off an Indigenous.

So now I think the 'criteria' is something like...
bloodwise you are 1/16th Indigenous.
you IDENTIFY as being Indigenous
and you do things according to culture... or something...

Recreational Fishing by Aboriginal Persons

Under Section 6 of the Fish Resources Management Act 1994, an Aboriginal person is not required to hold a recreational fishing licence to the extent that the person takes fish from any waters in accordance with continuing Aboriginal tradition if the fish are taken for the purposes of the person or his or her family and not for a commercial purpose.

There are three criteria which Indigenous organisations will usually require you to satisfy before they will provide you with a proof of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander
heritage letter. These criteria are outlined in the ATSIC Act and are:
1. Being of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander descent
2. Identifying as an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander
3. Being accepted as such by the community in which you live, or formally lived

I don't think it's fair when there are employment quotas like affirmative action enforces in the USA. Imagine if you're Caucasian/white and you are very qualified for a job and have the highest credentials of all the interviewers, but you are not selected for that job and someone under qualified or just average is selected because there are penalties for businesses not filling their minority quota. It's created a racial discrimination against Caucasians and the blow back has increased tension from what I've witnessed, many people close to me have had a bad taste in their mouths and newly found resentment from the effects of these practices on them.

I'm a minority and I think it's an unfair practice and have seen it create racial tension in people who didn't previously have any racial bias. I think the best man for the job should get it and not be blocked out because of a PC diversity quota of lesser qualified applicants. It also seems like it makes minorities more complacent because they know someone needs a "insert ethnicity here" on the roster from many I have spoken to in general.

Perhaps your affirmative action doesn't go to the levels of quotas for employment rosters and financial aid/scholarships like here?

Well isn't giving special perks to "minorities" racist in and of itself?

and what about aliens? when/if they come and expose themselves (chuckle) are we going to pretend we are not racist (speciest?) because they are smarter and could destroy us easily and we are jealous? What if the universe is BASED on rasism and it's all a game of which race can conquer everything?

Poje, I say yes it is and have taken a lot of heat for it. I just can't lie to myself or to others about it even though I could benefit if I wanted to. I think it's counterproductive to advancement of any culture to keep old wounds open for the sake of having something to heal while new wounds are created in the process.

It's just not right IMO and harmful, I was just curious if Affirmative Action has gone to the extremes internationally as it has here in at home.

What do you mean? Like, by political correctness? I mean, the main reason they did it was enough women knew that it was wrong that they managed to convince others that it was wrong. And the fact that women had no right to vote/had less rights was wrong and the protestors made it politically correct by convincing the majority that they were right. But i think I might be still missing something in your question. haha sorry, a little tired.

I think 'political correctness' gets a bad rap...lots of good stuff has come from the kind of thinking that is behind most 'political correctness'. If you look at the 'leaders' in our society who make 'anti-political correctness' part of their platform you will find the vast majority are racist, sexist and just fascist in general. You have to wonder if people would be happy to walk about espousing opinions supporting 'anti-political correctness' if they realised they are aligning themselves with the likes of Pauline Hanson.

Haha i see what you mean. Tho, just to add a little conflict, political correctness can be overused and corruped by people. Like some things politically correct are completely justified in being that way and have some terrible meanings and very much so offend some people. (such as the use of the N word although its meaning is being dulled with time) But also, people can use political correctness in a confining and restricting way as well to the point that some people masquerading under the guise of "political correctness" Give actual political correctness a bad wrap and people that use it annoying ass holes. But what constitutes as politically correct and when does it cross that line into annoying and unneccessarily restricting? I mean, some people just need to suck it up and move on with life instead of getting offended by every little thing that comes out of some persons mouth. Such as the use of the words "black" and "White" to describe a person. I mean, its a descriptive word, getting accross the general point of what someones trying to say. Then political correctness also goes into action and what is and is not politically correct to do and the issues that accompany that, which me even trying to go into that now would end up in a pile of jumbled nonsense.

By that thinking it would be racist to set up a taskforce to deal with the racist attacks on Indian students in Australia.

Or sexist to set up a women's shelter etc etc

Recently "sexual orientation" was added to some law about discrimination in the US of A and there were a lot of people that claimed that it was "special treatment" to insist that you couldn't bar someone from whatever for their taste in partners. I never quite figured that out.

I dont know about employment, but there are definitely lots of scholarships and services that they can access that other people can't.

I can definietly see the two sides for it.

On one hand, two Indigenous students got into Medicine when there were other students who performed better in exams/interview/aptitude test...

But Medicine has lots of different quotas. They have an Indigenous student quota (well, it's not really a quota but a if you want to do Medicine, we will try our hardest to get you in), they have a rural quota, an international student quota, a full fee paying quota, a mature age quota, etc etc.

So, some students are studying medicine because they are 'bonded' i.e. when they graduate they HAVE to spend 6 years working in rural areas. They get no scholarship for this (there are other rural scholarships but thats different).
These people will pass the requirements to get into Medicine (above 96 TER etc) but wouldnt have been offered a place in the top 200 or whatever. The uni rings the next people on the list and says "We will let you study Med but only if you go rural for 6 years"
(Now I have a whole heap of problems with this because they're asking 16/17 yr olds to make decisions that will impact their entire lives and dangling Medicine, this thing the student has aspired for in front of them..)
And they'll keep calling down the list until they find 20 or so studnts who say yes... So these students got in above those higher up the list because they said "yes, I will slave myself to your needs"
I see this kinda like the Indigenous quota... they wouldn't let in anyone who will have massive problems in medicine... If you're simply not smart enough, you're not smart enough...
I think the Indigenous quota for Medicine is more about growing more doctors who will want to work with Indigenous people than about PCness....
It's all about filing Australias needs for rural doctors and Indigenous doctors rather than "theyve historically been unpriveliged so lets help them out"

My partner however tutors Indigenous kids in high school and the governement pays for it completely.

Oh and another scheme which we researched in Med is called a SRA - Shared Responsibility Agreement... This comes from the fact that Australia has tried the heavy hand approach and it didn't work, we tried the self-determination approach and it didn't work so now we're trying a combined thing.
SRAs are basically agreements between an Indigenous community and the government with promises from both sides.

Now some are kinda extreme like "if the Indigenous people will send their kids to school every day and clean their ears etc, then they get a pool."
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1626072/
(Im talking about the Mulan community agreement)

Now most people said "WOAH - they wash their faces, take the rubbish out and they get a pool? (in this case it was fuel bowsers) I do that already!! The government should pay for MY pool"

Which is a very valid point. The Indigenous side to some of the first agreements was very 'slack' in that they were things that you'd expect everyone to do anyway...

But Australia has been trying to work on Indigenous health for AGES and most things haven't worked...

If spending $200,000 on fuel bosers/ a pool/ whatever the community wants will reduce ear infections/Sexualy transmitted disease/whatever then is it worth it?

See I think 'women's shelter' is discrimination... Why not 'victims of domestic abuse' shelter?

I dont know enough about the attacks on the Indian students to really comment... Are the attacks racist or just opportunist? Do Indian students walk home alone more often in dodgy areas? Maybe where the attacks are occuring is a mainly Indian student living area...
I think any task force would be about stopping all atacks. If a 'white' person was attacked in the same area, its not like the task force would ignore them and say "oh, it cant be related"...

What do people think of 'women only' and 'men only' clubs/tours etc...


I don't think there should be actual equality regarding sexes.. i.e. a business should be forced to hire as many females as males etc.
I think that there should be equal opportunity, i.e. if a female has the same skills, experience etc then there is nothing stopping her from being chosen for the job...

I think the current "only 1% of CEOs in Australia are women" kinda stance by 'feminists' isn't really about sexism... My mum's age is who is CEOS at the moment and my mum chose between teacher, nurse or secretary... So of course there would be less CEOS now...
But I think the possibility for female CEOs in the future isnt being stopped or hindered by sexism. You can get into uni, study business, work from the ground up in a company...
I'm a bit anti-feminist in that i dont think that you can be expected to be treated the same if you have kids... i.e. an employer has two employees, one being a women with kids, one being a women/man without kids... It is likely that the woman with kids will need to look after them more, not be able to stay late if the business needs it, have sick days to look after kids etc...
Having chosen career over kids, I think that women who chose kids over career cannot expect to be considered at the same level seeing as they have different priorities...

ANy now I will be bashed by all the females on the board...https://www.homeofpoi.com/ubbthreads/images/icons/default/duck.gif

Melbourne has men's shelters. And I'm with Nat in not understanding enough about the attacks on Indian students. There was an Indian student in my area who complained of racially motivated attacks - but, ah, well, you see, my city is pretty damn dodgy and violent and every weekend there are severe assaults (including sexual) so I'm disinclined to think the attack was racially motivated and was more "Geelong is a total hole and rather scummy and if you walk alone at night you're a bit of a git" motivated. tongue2

And while I'm agreeing with Nat, I completely get your point about the CEOs. And I don't think that it's anti feminism. Then again, I see feminism as having a choice, rather than "women can do everything better blah blah".

Hehe, I had a rant on facebook about a women's only tour the other week...

Theres feminists and those that take it too far who I just decided I might refer to as anti-phallist facists or similar.

I'd agree with your comment about Geelong but only within the CBD at night and beyond that its like anywhere else. The pubs and clubs too regularly over serve and there are too many that think they are too big for a 'small' town... I've been asked if I was flipping someone off when he'd greeted me and I'd returned the greeting with a slight wave.

This is Geelong and not Melbourne though, Melbourne has a significantly higher proportions of minority groups in general, I guess that appears more threatening.

Good Call

The further you get into the actual mechanics of how political correctness actually functions, the closer you'll see it resembles religious fundamentalism and as such, is subject to Poe's Law

Most of the political correctness we deal with in everyday life is a light, sanitized version and if you used terms like "reverse racism" around the hardcores, you'd quickly find them planting a stake into the ground and piling faggots around it to dispense with you and your incorrect ideology.

Political correctness can be distilled down to vital essence in one simple phrase....White people suck.
