It is embeded in the culture now and there is nothing you can do.

So I am watching this stupid little sitcom on demand last night. It is called "Superstore" and is set in a Walmart/Costco sort of superstore somewhere in the burbs. It has all of the current stereotypical characters. The bumbling white store manager who is a Christian and is mocked for his slogans and piety. The sex crazed plus sized assistant manager who has the hots for the young white college hipster guy who is slumming by working at the Costco because he can't get a regular job. Of course there are the super wise minority characters. The wheelchair bound black guy who is a fount of wisdom and good sense but not threating because he is one wheels. And the wise Latina in the form of the Ugly Betty girl who is the protagonist of the piece.

The premise is the hispter guy like the wise Latina. He is played by the Jewish dude who cut his ear off in Mad Men. He is constantly put in situations where his college smarts are shown up by the wise minorities who have to school him.

The last episode is all about racism. It seems they are hawking a salsa and the white manager guy wants Ugly Betty to promote it because she is Mexican. She freaks out because she thinks it is a demeaning stereotype. Meanwhile some of the other workers are happy to do it. The other Spanish Chick loves it because it gets her out of the dressing room duty which really sucks. Ugly Betty starts fighting with her to the point that she pulls a bowl of salsa out of her hands and trips her up and she sprains her ankle. So the obsequious Filipino dude goes full retard with the sombrero and fake accent to sell salsa. The Ugly Betty chick starts to berate him and asks him how he would like it if she faked being an Asian and did this:

Of course the customer reports her and the whole store has to watch a sensitivity training video. Which is as stupid as you might imagine. Everyone is pissed that they have to go throw this.

The subplot is what I found interesting. TV shows now have to gild the lily by portraying sweet old white ladies as racists. They did it last week on Chicago Med and then again in this show. The hipster guy was working in the pharmacy and giving out flu shots. He sees this eighty year old frail white woman in the line who calls him over to ask how long was the wait. He decides to escort to the front to have a seat and naturally someone in the line asks why she is going to the front of the line. Of course it is a black dude who asks. The sweet old lady turns to him and says "He's white and we take care of our own." This is one of the causes of the store being forced into sensitivity training. It was termed the worst kind of racism.

My question is why?  Why is it a problem if white help out whites when a whole cottage industry has sprung up for blacks to assist blacks and Hispanics to assist Hispanics and women to assist women. Are white people the only people who have to not help their own? I guess so. This type of political correctness is soaked into everything. De Blasio has passed a law that if you refuse to let a transgendered person use your ladies room you are subject to a $250,000 fine. If you talk about it and say you are against it or are say anything in any way that they find offensive you are subject to the same fines. Political correctness has triumphed. At least in New York City. In television. In print. On blogs. You can't even watch a stupid sitcom without getting hit over the head with this stuff.

Enough is enough.

Why the NFL is turning into the St. Patrick Day's Parade

It is not just that they are letting the gays in.

It is that they are selling out to political correctness for money. The NFL is under attack. From the demands that a substandard affirmative action gay loser be on an NFL roster to forcing the Redskins to change their name to the current nonsense about firing the commissioner because some black dude beat up his wife. It is just an attempt to pussify and feminize the NFL. Look if some dude beats up a woman it is up to her brothers and father to take revenge. Or she can go to the cops. If he is convicted then they should throw the book at him.  But it is not the job of the NFL to police other peoples marriage. Or to fire their executives if they don't measure up to the desires of NOW or the Feminazi's or the cocoa sipping nancy boys like Keith Olberman and Bob Costas. Fuck the networks. They are not going to drop the NFL. If they do there are plenty of other networks that will take them on. Lets face it. The NFL is the reason that most people take the networks on their packages. The cable companies is trying to force the networks to not be part of the "bundle" but be packaged in a piece by piece ala carte choice. Without the NFL why would you want to pay for some of these networks? I mean NBC. Seriously. The NFL has the power. Stop being pussies and lay the switch to them like they are four years old.

But like the Church hierarchy and the NFL has lost their balls and are surrendering to the forces of political correctness. We once were led by men like Cardinal Spellman and Pope John Paul II and Vince Lombardi and Wellington Mara and George Halas. Those guys are gone. The ethos is gone. They are selling out for money.
