I don't know if I'm just noticing it more or if it has actually become worse but, to me, the world is going crazy.
I was reading the news and came across this article (http://www.essentialkids.com.au/old...cdonalds-sexism--and-wins-20140423-373es.html). To summarise, it's an article where McDonald's couldn't ask "do you want a boy's or girl's toy" when ordering a happy meal. They had to ask "do you want X toy or Y toy?" as asking if you want a boy/girl toy is classified as discrimination...
I've heard that childcare centres aren't allowed to sing "bah, bah black sheep" anymore and are to sing "bah, bah rainbow sheep"...... Because, apparently, 2-6 year olds will storm out of the centre and start lynching black people.
And just the whole gay/lesbian/transsexual/transgender/transwhoeveriveleftout issue is annoying as if you're not 100% on board or agree with gay/lesbian/transsexual/transgender/transwhoeveriveleftout people, then you're small minded/bigot/closed minded/insert left wing buzz word here... Apparently gay people live in caves and are hunted down if/when they leave and need to be congratulated and cheered on and are heroes and brave and have guts etc because they kiss the same sex instead of the opposite sex. Recent issues are Grayson Goodwin coping a 26 week suspension because he or his mate said gay refs are sht on twitter and Michael Sam is the greatest hero on Earth and was congratulated by Obama because he is the first openly gay player to be drafted by an NFL team... This may be going slightly off topic or a separate issue to what I was initially ranting about but who gives a flying fck what someone is? Isn't the whole issue just accepting people for who they are and not putting labels on any/everything? Why is something the "first black" or "first gay" or "first transsexual" an issue in 2014?
