Quite. Particularly the bit at the end.

Once a year few pricks will ask me at work 'so why do we have Black History Month? Why not white history month? It's racist, PC gone mad etc etc etfuckingc'

I posted an mp3 of that just after it was broadcast. Best thing about it was Germaine Greer backpeddling

it's institutionalised politeness - at it's worst
To paraphrase (yest again on this site) Christopher Brookmyre on Parlabane "Whenever he heard the phrase 'political correctness gone mad' his heart sung, because at least someone was trying to do the right thing".

I'm white, male, middles class (probably), so therefore, part of the most marginalised sector of society - allegedly. Bullhonkey!!!

Vonnegut was a big one for politeness. That's good enough for me.

I've been asked that as well. My answer is always the same... "When's the last time you actually opened a history book? Because if you ever did, you'd realise that every month is White History Month".

and what do you say to them?
