The Tall Gentleman with the Curly Hair

Admitedly, I will start by saying that this is not my idea, rather it is Roddy's (who does not have posting priveleges.) I do take credit for the rant however and I do think it is worth mentioning.

Has political correctness gone to far. Borderlining on obsurdity? Here is the typical conversation I am talking about:

Me: Hey I was talking to that guy at work today who works at the front door checking peoples' ID badges.

Roddy: Which Guy?

Me: You know, the gentleman with the dark curly hair? Its pretty short. Ummm, a little bit heavy set, dark skin, has a little bit of an accent. Kind of sounds like he might have a South Chicago dialect. Really nice fella.

Roddy: Oh you mean the black guy thats the security guard.

Me: Yeah. That guy. Didn't know how else to describe him, but I guess you summed it up pretty well. I wish I would have thought of that.

I was filing a police report this morning and the officer asked me if the gentleman in question was "Black, White or Hispanic." If the cop can say it can't we all? She didn't even consider that it might have been an Asian or an Indian dude. But thats a different issue. Maybe they don't commit as many crimes or something.
