Multiculturalism: American Style

They say America's the most pluralistic, multicultural society on earth. But spare a thought for those non-pluralistic, monocultural types who have to endure living here through clenched teeth and bulging arteries. Here's an unintentionally hilarious email to Pastor J. Grant Swank, Jr.:

“I thought I would let everyone know that I took a deer into **** Meats in Fishers, Indiana on Friday after Thanksgiving. It is the same place I have taken deer for 20 years. They told me they couldn’t take my deer today because it was a Muslim holiday and the Muslims were in the BACK SACRIFICING GOATS TO ALLAH. I repeated back to her slowly and in a shocked tone what she had just said to me. Then I told her: ‘Shame on you for putting your customers on the back burner and the American Hunter to the side while the people we are at WAR with practice their religion in the back of your building hidden from public eye.’ I left. My deer and my business.

Will now go to **** Deer processing at **** Middletown, Indiana 47356. It’s not that far away. Please let all the people know about this. If I wouldn’t have gone to jail I would have gone back to spit on the floor in front of the Muslims and draw my weapon. This is America. Let’s keep it.”

I'm sure this good 'Merikun complainer would imagine people subscribe to different religions and customs just to annoy him. I'm sure he'd assume liberals have no such travails to endure because we don't complain. But that really isn't the case.

I have no idea what said 'Merikun would imagine as a liberal equivalent to his deer processing disappointment. Maybe bringing in home-fermented tofu for blessing by a shaman at the wholefood co-op and being told no because lesbians were doing a wheat grass festival in the back? I'm not sure. But as a liberal, if I did experience such a scenario, I might sigh frustratedly, maybe roll my eyes... but I'd just come back tomorrow. I wouldn't react like a giant, spoiled baby with white power 'roid rage and spitefully try to screw someone else's livelihood because they don't share my irrational prejudices. Jeez.
