Amazon's Catalog of Political Correctness

It's no wonder I take lorazepam to control my anxiety and prevent another heart attack: I'm white, I'm a Jew, and I identify as female, the gender I was assigned at birth. I am also heterosexual, preferring the real thing to a strapped-on dildo worn by a woman pretending to be a man. 

Obviously I am stuck way in the past. Which is why I was shocked, stunned and insulted by the new Amazon gift catalog that came in the mail today, on several levels. First of all -- a gift catalog from Amazon? Really? Don't they already get all the money from everyone in the entire world, which is how its founder Jeff Bezos became the world's richest man with a net worth of $154.8 billion?

More to the point, the current catalog -- "Gifted! Amazon Holiday 2023" -- is so embarrassingly woke that it comes across as a parody published by The Onion. (Seriously, find a copy if you didn't get one already, it's amusing bathroom reading.) There are perhaps four or five white models in it, used a few times. Everyone else shown is black, Native American, Inuit, Chinese, Thai, Latino, Arab, Haitian, Indian, African or something else "of color."

One model, a "deaf performer" as the accompanying copy explains, is used to sell mascara. "Deaf people look into each other's eyes a lot. That's how we communicate. So I've always focused on dramatic eye looks." Of course we hearing people never look into each other's eyes. (I immediately tossed out all my mascara.)

A woman in a wheelchair who broke her neck years ago and is unable to walk was chosen to illustrate the "Sporty" page. (She plays adaptive pickleball.) Besides all the black families there are several photos of gay men, one Muslim, a fat lady and an old lady. But apparently no Jews, old or young, as a "holiday shopping tip" discusses Christmas and New Year's, but no mention of Hanukah.

I SAY BOYCOTT AMAZON, THEY HATE WHITE PEOPLE!  I'd do it myself but since I live in Maine, which is a shopping desert, I order something from them several times a week so I can't. But you definitely should.
