Default Is the phrase "pale, male, stale" acceptable?

Load of people seem to be using this term to generalize and demonize an entire group of people to totally discredit all that they stand for... in mainstream society and not getting pulled up on it?

Technically speaking playing by the politically correct rules set out in society for the past few decades... its pale bordering racist, male sexist and stale ageist? Or being a pale stale male person myself should I just laugh it all off...Im sure if this was said about any group of people they would laugh it off too and no one would ever get offended or sacked for ????

Can't see that male is. But to call a white person pale reminds me of 'paleface' used in the old westerns and I would say is racist. To describe an older person as stale is ageist in my opinion.

Except those people obviously weren't stale as they contributed hugely. Maybe you're missing the target of the phrase?

Also unis teach to "Hate the Pale, Male, Stale"? What rubbish.

But then I suppose it's like you referring to everything that so much as concerns women as "feminist" so you do tend to jump at generalisations.

Nope it is 100% true, alas you havent studied it and you will really only understand the bias, the historical revisionism, the male hate and bigotry that is being taught to our students that will poison our society in the years ahead...I know of history students who have never been taught about david lloyd george?

Ive never heard that phrase in my life. But I feel like youre encouraging it when you say stuff like "to discredit all that they stand for".

If this is a problem, then its because people like the op are lumping people together. But considering nobody so far has heard this phrase, I dont think its actually much of a problem

I don't think it can be that rife if so many have never heard it until now?

Anyway, I guess in answer to the OP...no its not acceptable. Sounds a bit..writing a whole group of people off for nothing except being white, male and older (stale?)
