From the RedNeck files

Sometimes I get Email forwards from people at work. Some of them are funny but most are not. Some are even offensive. People really hate to be "politically correct" and I know that sometimes political correctness goes too far. Yet oftentimes, it's just about common sense and courtesy. Be nice to people. Don't call them names. Maybe LEARN about something that isnt in your backyard. So I get this "joke" memo about "towelheads". It goes:

"TOWEL HEADS"

"Recently I received a warning about the use of this politically incorrect term, so please note, we all need to be more sensitive in our choice of words.

I have been informed the Islamic terrorists, who hate our guts and want to kill us, do not like to be called "Towel Heads", since the item they wear on their heads is not actually a towel, but in fact, a small folded sheet.

Therefore, from this point forward, please refer to them as "Little Sheet Heads."

Thank you for your support and compliance on this delicate matter. "

I don't have the guts to address this matter in a reply. It's too small of a town, and only in the last 40 years or so have people here stopped being "Sheet Heads" themselves. As in white sheets and burning crosses, ya dig?

Anyway, if I had sent a reply it would have read like this:
Ok first off... not every one who covers their hair like that IS a Muslim. Most of the "towelheads" you see are not even Muslim, many are Sikh, followers of the doctrines of a monotheistic religion founded in northern India in the 16th century. It’s a combination of Hinduism and Islam.

Also, you fucking cracker, not every Islamic person is terrorist.

Two: I’m pretty sure Islamic terrorists don’t give a shit what Americans call them. We could call them Towel Head, Shithead, Friend, Brother, or Uncle Bud. They don’t care because they are murderers who want to extinguish this country, this culture and every heathen and "un-Godlike" thing about us. We are vermin to these people, and it doesn’t matter what vermin thinks about you, does it?

Three: the only people who might give a shit about such racist and ignorant terms are innocent Muslim Americans who are trying to live in this country and practice their religion.

And Four: Please, please, please stop assuming that because we share the same skin tone we can share anything other than Max Factor foundation. Do me a favor and keep your knee jerk redneck politics at home along with your "nigger" jokes and pseudo Christian evangelism.
