Minority

By J. Thibodeaux

I was born in the 1950's.  I was born to a what is now classified as a "white" family and we had to work to make ends meet.  Today, I am considered a white / male.  I never viewed myself as such.  But in being viewed this way, I am not given the same latitude as others in that if I use certain "street" words; I am being a hateful person.  Yes, this happens even though others speak the same language and it is "cool."

Is this a First admentment problem or reverse discrimination?  I think the later?  Your thoughts?
