Eh, with all the "safe space" whining, they seem to want segregation back.

That's true too.

Btw, this should make conservatives think: six month after the SCOTUS legalized gay marriage, you narry hear a peep from the gays.

Instead we hear about the transgendered.

Isn't General Tso's chicken like the American version of actual Chinese food?

Not THE version.  We eat other stuff too.  My understanding is General Tso's is one of the dishes that Chinese invented in the US.

Taiwanese in NYC I think.

Yes, I think that, at least in some areas, we are going backwards.

Huh. Perhaps only in the sense we white people are more aware of how racist some of our compatriots are now that they have the internet around. It seems to me things are moving forward everywhere.

The notion that this is only about the attitudes and opinions of "we white people" is part of the problem.

Yep.

And by extension a similar approach should be applied to people depending on how recently their completed their education.  :smarty:

True, but that's not "gays demanding more" per se. It would be more as if, after getting their political rights, black people demanded rights for another ethnic group. Or something like legal recognition of great ape personhood.

I guess I thought Dick was referring to things like the UKIP and Trump so that is where I went.
