That's because you're not (insert protected class/designation/label/group here.)
About the only NON protected class/designation/label/group out there in the USA these past few decades is the straight, white male. Since that describes my husband, son, grandson, well, let's just say I'm so damned pissed off half the time contemplating the inequity of it all I want to vomit chunks all over the shoes of the so-called protected classes. To be fair, alot of us didn't ASK, nor were we consulted, as to our preferences for being pigeonholed. Still, you have to wonder what demon the politicos will summon forth in another 50 years, when I am (fortunately) dead and the brain dead, public educated masses are looking to afix blame for their purposeless, impoverished lives. By then, the straight white male will be an endangered species, and oh. my.god. what group will the axe fall on next?
