My wife posted a photo in a text message among my family of my daughter's newborn baby yawning. I thought it made him look like a Chinese baby, and said that as a comment. I then got "quit being racist" comments back from two of my daughters, so I searched on Google for a photo of a Chinese baby yawning, and it looked just like the grandbaby :) One daughter then said it was weird for me to be searching for a photo of a Chinese baby yawning, so I told her I did it to show that the baby LOOKS LIKE A CHINESE BABY YAWNING! Anybody else love their children, but don't really like them? :) On a more serious note, does anyone else sense that this generation under 40 has been programmed to be offended by everything that deviates from some narrow range of supposedly acceptable behavior, comments, etc. (but they have no problem with ridiculous tattoos and piercings)

Depends on how they were raised. If you don't teach your child to look at things objectively and to question everything from any authority figure, then they'll likely believe the propaganda that is pumped into them 8 hrs a day, 5 days a week at public school. The youth's inability to critically reason for themselves is a symptom of a larger problem that began when the government took over the education system while our society compelled mothers to enter the workforce and hand their children off to be raised by the state.
