Heh Imkenzie...... bad news. The corporate world has been "profiling" for as long as the Police Depts... if not longer. So have you whether or not you want to admit it. Remember that hairy douchenozzle with the dirty tee shirt and the "Love Hate" tattoos on his knuckles last time you were at Wally World? Or that non hairy, clean suited, no ink douchenozzle in front of you?
I grew up in the "Save the whales, end the war, tye die, I'd love to teach the world to sing, feed the hungry" generation. I had long hair, a beard, some ink, and an earing back when, if you weren't a Pirate, you damn well better be ready to defend yourself. I could get away with it because I owned half of the Business.
I'm not saying that being illiterate and wearing spandex wrapped around your fat, green haired, saggy man boobed fanny.... while playing "Batman Arkem City" or napping at your desk makes you a bad person..... but it does make you a lousy employee. And someone who would have gotten the fecal matter beat out of them everyday back in 1976.
I'm not really "profiling anyone"... I'm just telling you how it is in the real world. Most of my "Feed the World" Friends are now "I got mine, you get yours, lets bomb some brown people, I'm voting for Newtie because the TV told me to" types..... and with the exception of Google... you won't find many living wage jobs where "individuality" is encouraged. Unless it's the talent to make money for the company that you work for.
If you are Kat Von D, Mike Tyson or a Trust Fund kid... then go ahead and express your individuality. Otherwise.... you'll need a job.
P.S. I'm 52 and have been calling other dudes "dude and bitch" since the early 70's. I've been on the Intertubes since 1981 and was actually around to see the invention of emoticons and the use of words like teh, pron, pwned.
It's kind of like the new car commercial with the cool start buttons and gear shifters in the dash... they started that in 1920 and stopped in the late 50's. What's old becomes new again.
"Up in here"..."(insert anything here) yo", and Snoop Dog's Hizzouse nonsense are new. For now.
For Shizzle my nizzle.
