Any answer that does not also say why is best treated as a myth or lie
Reasons why also separate comments from the nasties with comments that actually contribute something. Sexobon's comments demonstrate that plenty of contradictory expressions are acceptable - somewhere.
Since this is the internet (it is everywhere) I think I will just be politically correct and call them "Pale Face". The term is accurate.
Except those that come from America. Then maybe using the 1930 term "Hey Joe" is acceptable.
No. That won't work. Because some Joe's, who open a window, might find room temperature too cold. How political correctness has changed things. Say anything and someone is always insulted.
Well he is still a mafioso type - The Don. And that is an insult with plenty of well documented reasons that justify the insult. No reason to be politically correct with names that accurately define that Pale Face.
When The Don opens a window, is that to throw the woman out before Melania opens the door to enter? Well that will keep the room temperature down. And no Pale Face is insulted.
What was the question?
