MamaJD: Nothing to Do w/PC, Simply Poor Taste

re: Boise State Republicans drawing for a Mexican restaurant dinner to promote an appearance by U.S. Senate wannabe Robert Vasquez here

Truthseeker: It’s not politically correct, so it must be wrong.

MamaJD: Truthseeker, political correctness has nothing to do with this. It is the equivalent to having a dinner consisting of fried chicken and watermelon served by Aunt Jemima and Little Black Sambo in celebration of Martin Luther King. This moved out of the realm of political correctness when this college club singled out a legitimate small business. It was mean spirited, poorly thought out, and just plain irresponsible. I always wonder how many people get converted by the the Hellfire and Damnation types that scream at passers-by. I wonder what makes the Hellfire and Damnation types think that is an attractive promotion that would draw anyone in? This is the same type of thing to me regarding this club. What part of this is attractive so that others would want to join their cause?
