Eugh.... labels! I wish people would stop giving them to everyone! I actually think it's kinda retarded. (Spastic even :roll: )
Prejudice derives from labelling people (and not the awesome, super cool Jane Austin style prejudice either!) - and it just makes me hate those that DO label others.
Ironically enough, it's usually the people that argue the case "everyone's their own person" who also go along with shouting the most appropriate stereotype at people. You all suck! Just sayin'

The thing with human nature is that you automatically label somebody on the first thing you notice.
"Hello. I bought this t-shirt the other day and I'd like to return it. The person who served me said I could return it if I didn't like it when I got home."
"Oh, ok, sir, do you know who served you?"
"I think it was your manager, the tall, blad bloke.""
Oh yes, I know who you mean, that's my manager. Let me call him."
*assistant wonders off to make a phone call.*
"Hello Dave, I've got a customer here who said you said he could return an item."
"Yeah? Who's that?"
"Dunno. Some poofy black guy."
"Oh yeah, I remember serving him and I didn't say he could return it."
"Ok, I'll tell him."
*assistant returns*
"Sorry, sir, my manager says you can't have a refund."
"WHAT! He said I could."
"Sorry, sir, that's company policy."
"Listen you fat bitch, lightbulb head said I could."
"I'm sorry, Sir, if you continue to talk to me like that, I will have to call security."
"Call security then, see if I care!"
*assistant calls security, security mans arrives*
"What's going on here then, young man?"
"That fat bitch won't give me a refund."
"Sorry, sir, I'm going to have to escort you off the premises or call the police."
"Don't worry about it, old man, I wouldn't want to give you a heart attack. I'm leaving anyway!"
*minces off*
As utopic it would be if people didn't categorise people, life would be boring and impossible if we didn't label people or take the piss out of their most instantly notable feature. People choose to be offended rather than actually feel offended I think.

I completely get it, but I don't get it....
The word Spastic is a normal word that was used for a long time to describe someone with a condition such as cerebral palsy... But then if someone was being stupid, they got called a spastic... fair enough... thats life.
So now... Cause people have been calling others gay for a while now, will gay become an offensive word for example? Seeing as its used in kind of the same manner... people may call each other gay if they did something you didn't like for example, so would it become an offensive word?
I mean, there's also the N word... But I don't want some internet Nazi to come get me... oooooo to "bad" N words...
Society really sucks sometimes
