Toward a better system of multicultural classification
Are you a hyphenated American? By that, I mean are you referred to as a {Insert Ethnic/Religious Identifier here} – American? Most likely you are; this is fine if you live in the states but what happens if you choose to move elsewhere? For example, let’s say you are African-American and you decide to move to Africa. Would you then become an African-African-American or African-American-African, and what happens when you move back? What if you are Hispanic-American and you decide to move to Canada? Do you become Hispanic-Canadian-American or do you drop the American? Clearly, this is a very serious problem, How can government effectively redistribute wealth if they don’t know who is most entitled; should a Hispanic-American get more than a Hispanic-Canadian-American? What about immigration status, sexual identity/preference, disability? Should these be factors as well?
Clearly, we need a more detailed method for categorizing people into appropriate categories. Therefore, I propose replacing all hyphenated references with the following system: For example; instead of identifying yourself as Hispanic-American; under the new system you would ID your self as ‘V’ or victim. The only other designation would be ‘O’ or oppressor, this category would include Whites, Christians and possibly some Asians. Under this new system;
- V designates are all equal;
- V status can never be revoked;
- V status can never be questioned;
As for O status, it to can never be revoked or questioned, No matter how many times you bend over and grab you ankles and apologize for things that happened a century ago. Once you get the O that’s it, so shut up and pay up you cracker bastards. Oh, where was I, Hopefully, this new system will streamline the progressive march to the coming multicultural paradise.
