I had a classic one of these today while in the car with the kids nan.
we were discussing teaching within schools and she proclaimed.
“Mr *** is a great teacher, I mean hes gay, but, hes a great teacher”
like
is it surprising that gay people make good teachers?
are they not meant too?
was the “but” necessary?
id of been happy enough to know he was a great teacher, I highly doubt his sexual preferences will pop up in any tests.
just last week I had another classic from one we shall call Bitchy Accidental Racist.
when describing her boyfriends mum she used the words.
“obviously hes mixed race, but his mum is black like REALLY black”
as opposed too?….
tepidly black?
apathetically black?
you’d never hear someone use the words,
shes white, I mean REALLY WHITE.
don’t get this post wrong, I hate how far political correctness is shoved up our arses, I have a (really black) friend who uses racial slur on himself.
just as I have a friend (but hes gay) of whom I tell is camp ALL the time.
I just find it amusing that in trying to be nice people can sound like complete twats about it.
especially the kids nan, and shes ginger, I mean REALLY ginger.
