Multi-Cultured
Political correctness has opened new diverse areas of expression for activists. No longer am I constrained by the culture that I was born and brought-up in. Now, I can apply situational ethics (*)to my choice of culture. I can ask myself what culture would serve my interests better; I can self-actualize more and heteronormativiize less. This is good news, activists!The steaming puddle of pee problem. If you are one of the chosen members of the master-race of Canadians that only live in Toronto, you have watched puddles of urine wash back and forth on public transit. Most cultures have bigoted taboos regarding public urination. Pissing on the floor or seats of a subway, bus, or aeroplane is considered 'wrong'. And we know that feeling anger at having to step over the yellow puddle is racism (*). So, how do we, as activists, justify our ignoring cultural norms regarding basic human behavior? It's as simple as giving a telemarketer your credit card: You change your culture to match the situation! You become MultiCultured.
Now, when I step over urine on public transit, I can be happy. Some activist is doing his/her/it's best to show outrage over inadequate social spending, lack of community facilites, and the inherent racism of white culture. When I see street signs painted over with gang colors, it is no longer a safety hazard, but a brave act of defiance. When the local homeless person, who is collecting 2,500 a month take home on a disability pension, who eats free at the food bank and sells the surplus, who works for another 200 cash a week take home for some telemarketer, and who then asks me for 'spare money' to pay for his smokes and beer, instead of me becoming angry because this person is a parasite, instead I embrace the culture of the Tapeworm-Canadians and say 'Way to put it to the man, N-person'. I want to be a parasite, too.
Accomodate me, I am MultiCultured. Use some creative thinking and you can always get what you want. Cultivate a family of cultures. Find out what laws do not apply to your cultural family members. Then, as the situation demands, optimize your results by being a Tapeworm-Canadian, Looter-Canadian, or just a Half-Canadian. Now you can happily pee on the subway, realizing that all the dirty looks you are getting are just the scowls of racists, who now owe you money in reparations. Now you can park in intersections, because you are MultiCultured and thats the way we park our cars back in the happy homeland of the Dung-Hut-Canadians. With a diversity of cultures to choose from, nothing is forbidden any more. This applies to you, Activist-Canadian. Rejoice! Demand handouts!
