This video is exactly what I predicted our future will be. Radical people who claim they want equality when they really want special treatment are gonna be the reason for crap like this:

That won't be the future. There will always be idiots who think they're entitled to something or are being oppressed when they really aren't. There will also always be idiots who kill for their religion. There will also always be communists and slavers, the two extremes in economics. There is no possible way to get rid of extremists without becoming extremists ourselves, so unless we do that, extremists will never inherit the world.

Nobody can write other's futures. Jeff stop with these. Your points are really vague, then it leads to flaming and other posts like dlgn's long posts ranting over these.

Down with the PLAGUE of Political Correctness that is sweeping our country! If the Social Justice Warriors have their way, we will have a DYSTOPIAN world. This VIDEO reveals the TRUE face of "feminism", aka MISANDRY!!!1!!!1!! IT WILL NEVER END UNTIL WHITE MALES ARE TRULY THE OPPRESSED CLASS OF THE FUTURE!!!!!!!!!!!
But in all seriousness, I've never cringed so much in my life as when I was watching that video. It's like a combination of every lazy stereotype about feminists and "SJWs" brought into one convenient video. I didn't even manage to get all the way through, I was cringing so hard.

That was funny actually, not because of how it relates to our world, but because of the absurd things they say and the way they say it. Gosh, the expression of disgust and nobility in the woman is brilliant. Broadway for her for sure.
I don't think the problem is in language. There's nothing wrong with identifying someone as "black" or "african american." Even though we don't say it out loud, we still think it. It's a physical description to aid in mapping a face to a name. The problem is with the meanings we attach to it such as stereotypes. If there are two John's in my class and they're similar in every way except for the color of their skin, how will I differentiate them? There's black John and there's white John. Nothing wrong with that.
Names are the same way.
Point is, you should not remove these words from diction. You should remove the stereotypes people have. Now, whether this is the point the video tried to make or not is hard to say. It hid under a veil of sarcasm.

The video is just a parody of political correctness/cultural evolution.
There's no need to go looking for meaning where there isn't any.

The only thing I'm getting out of this video is the notion that Jeff should stop constantly spamming us with how 'The System' is going to ultimately ruin us and how 'The Man' controls it all, and how dark and bleak his imagined future is. For me I know my future is pretty happy. I go to school. Get a job. Get married. Possibly have children. Die. As it has been for years. Nothing much will change. We will always struggle to provide for ourselves, we will always fall in pathetic love.
We will always die.
I mean, as long as there's still a faint glimmer of hope inside you, nothing can stop you. Look at the people who risked their lives to save others. The chopper pilot who aided in stopping the Mai Lai Massacre. Consider the people who risked life and limb to save people from the Holocaust. This 'future' you show us has already happened in the past, with slight alterations. Look at a military police officer the wrong way? You're dead. Speak out against the leader? You're dead. Those systems have long been toppled, at least the ones under Herr Hitler and Comrade Stalin. Think being recognised by only a number is so far away? Anyone who is familiar with the Holocaust knows about that, or just as any American is with the Social Security system. Perhaps being treated the same as each other, undifferentiated. I'm sure those in mass graves, left unidentified, certainly share a feeling of unity.
Humanity is built on differences. Some people are better leaders, so they lead. Some are hard workers, at either the brain or the brawn end of the spectrum. Some are creative. Musicians, artists. If everyone were the same, we would cease to be human. Our failings draw us close and our strengths let us help others. There is no way that such a thing would come about, but if it DID there is a very high chance those that don't support it would have moved out of the country already, fled. All those left in the system at that point would want to be a part of the system, or too dumb to know better. We're not going to be forced to be this way. All we really NEED to do is perhaps learn to control our tongues. Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks, or so they say. However I have found it that many times with a little thinking my brain can override my heart, my raw emotions. For all you know I'm a racist, sexist jerk who really likes to dehumanize others. I may just be good at hiding it. But even in hiding it, that shows a level of respect few today know.

TL;DR: Don't whine. Just live your life and be rad until you die. Everyone's different and it's going to stay that way.
