Politically correct or intellectually rude??

[HiPointDem]

22. the thing is, when polite people notice something that's socially considered a flaw -- like being

overweight or having a handicap -- they assume it's obvious to others too, including the person who is overweight or handicapped -- so they don't feel any necessity to say 'hey fatty, you're fat!' or 'hey gimp, you can't walk right!'

also, polite people, when they notice things that have been objects of discrimination -- like skin color, clearly evident to all, don't feel the need to point those out either 'hey whitey, you're white! hey blackie, you're black! you have slanty eyes too!'

yes, it's the truth, but so what? everyone knows it, and there's generally no reason to draw attention to what's self-evident unless it's to make fun, so why do it?

Why would people be calling you fat 'all the time'? Were they raised in a barn? What's the need?
