Stop Whining, Freddie deBoer. | Clarissa's Blog
You are supposed to use the expression “[something] challenged” rather than disabled. Anyway, whether or not one allows oneself to be browbeaten by others correcting one’s terminology depends on whether one feels one belongs in the social and cultural setting where people are setting these values, or not. Then there are other levels of mischief where right-wingers pretend they are being overrun, when they are not. The right has learned to play the victim card and does this very effectively. I have personally found that if people feel you are not a desirable person to have around, they will play the victim card. Those least likely to play it are black Africans, who are usually mature and resoundingly normal. White people, though, are a little bit iffy.
