This aggravates me. Would you invite someone to an event and then say, "Oh, I don't like your clothes..." or "I don't like the way you walk/talk/ or whatever?"
If they made a mistake, they should have the grace to treat everyone nicely and then just STFU.

(3,888 posts)4. Thank you for the clip. The "elites" were not offensive
in this interview and probably were not that bad in the parade either.
But the towns folk, who complained, are being offensive and ugly.
They should warn me when they leave their homes so I have a choice whether or not to expose my children to them.

More than likely because the town is still on dial-up.

(19,288 posts)7. Are they not female impersonators?
Is it politically incorrect terminology or are they simply men dancers? Help me out here.
Some are wearing make up.
