More ranting, then I’ll stop. For now.

Why when we describe someone do we have to go for the obvious? 

Do you know so and so? Oh, yes, he’s black.

Do you remember this person? Yes, she’s gay.

So what? Frankly I’m not bothered about the colour of someone’s skin or their sexuality, keep all that to yourself.

Unless you’re going to tell me someone has an unholy fetish for custard creams, then I’m all ears. Because I am ambivalent to custard creams and am not above knowing of those who have weird fetishes towards them.

  8. atsirhc said: i always wondered that, too. because when i describe people, i say how much taller than me they were or if they were my height, their eye color, what shirt they were wearing but i never say the black person or the gay person. just the person!
