About: Acceptable Hard Luck Targets   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

A subset of Acceptable Targets. These examples deal with targets that are often just very unlucky. These are things that could happen to just about anybody. In a way, these might be even worse than other Acceptable Targets. While many people do show pride in their culture, ethnic group, nationality, etc. - people generally (with few exceptions) don't show pride in a disability, illness, or whatever hardship that they have. It's usually considered bad enough that they have the disability, illness, or any other hardship - that being discriminated for it would add insult to injury, so to speak.

  • A subset of Acceptable Targets. These examples deal with targets that are often just very unlucky. These are things that could happen to just about anybody. In a way, these might be even worse than other Acceptable Targets. While many people do show pride in their culture, ethnic group, nationality, etc. - people generally (with few exceptions) don't show pride in a disability, illness, or whatever hardship that they have. It's usually considered bad enough that they have the disability, illness, or any other hardship - that being discriminated for it would add insult to injury, so to speak. Of course, in some cases there's some circular logic here - they're only unlucky because they happen to be Acceptable Targets. Examples of Acceptable Hard Luck Targets include: You must be dumb. End of story. Or lazy. Or greedy. Or gluttonous (in some TV shows fat characters never appear in a single scene without shoving food into their mouths). Or low-class trailer trash. Or a slob. Or sweaty, stinky, or otherwise sub-human. Or, in an inversion, if you're American you must be a disgusting fat slob.
