Ok, I’m going to admit that I definitely laughed at this one. If I was doing that to someone, and then they said ‘You need to stop going all Shanaynay on me,’ no matter how mad I was I’d probably burst out laughing. That being said, I can still see how it has racist connotations and just for matters of courtesy and decency, I probably would never say something like that unless I was joking around with my friends, who I know would not be offended and would get the joke. But to someone I don’t know… I’d probably skip that one.

Have you looked around lately? The majority of parents today act like this with their kids. Black, white, yellow, red, green, purple, blue, whatever… it seems to be the trend over the last 10-15 years to not discipline your kids. It’s not just Indians, it’s society as a whole. And it’s just as ridiculous for everyone else to do it as it is for Indians. I worked as a camp counselor and this was the reaction most parents had whenever we had to inform them that we had to write their children up, that you shouldn’t discipline children — every reason from it’ll injure their self-esteem to stunt their creativity. It annoys the hell out of me, too, but it’s not a race issue. It’s a society-full-of-crappy-parents issue.

Deaf people can definitely work. I think it’s more along the lines of what field. if a deaf person can read lips and speak, then they can lead almost normal lives. I’ve had several coworkers who were deaf and could read lips and speak so well you wouldn’t have known they were deaf until they told you. And for those that can’t, I know here on the First Coast there is the Florida School for the Deaf and Blind. I’m sure for those people being a teacher at a specialty school for deaf children, or something along those lines, is an option.

It’s pretty simple — men do not have the same kind of pressure on them, appearance-wise, that women do. Look at most popular ‘family’ sitcoms or commercials featuring a husband and wife. The husband is a rather overweight man, who is lazy and less than intelligent. The wife is skinny, perpetually beautiful, smart, sarcastic, and funny. Society tends to follow television trends. It has become OK for men to be/act dumb, lazy, and let themselves become overweight. It is portrayed as the norm on television, and so it has become in society, slowly but surely. I think that for most of these men, they honestly do not see a problem with the way they look. I’m sure they know they are unhealthy, but I don’t think they see themselves as physically unattractive, or care.
