Re: Political correctness?
Would rather just say things straight out. Political Correctness has gone FAR overboard in this country.
Very few of the things people are PC about anymore really deserve a PC treatment, in fact, very few things deserve a PC treatment.
Re: Political correctness?
In the black community the words bitch and ho are generic terms for any female, but black guys, who are the only people allowed to use words like chink and kike, are the main ones crying for political correctness about the words nigger and African-American. I am very much over that hypocrisy. I guess sexism is just not as bad as racism to most people. Fortunately I have come across black guys who feel the same way, and I know black leaders do too. :) In fact, many black men say you shouldn't call white people white trash or honkeys or anything like that either. I'm not sure where I stand on this issue, but I know there should be consistency across the board. I lean towards everyone having the RIGHT to say everything from slut to kike, but society condemning it. I say either you support free speech or you support political correctness. Pick one.
Re: Political correctness?
I think PC has gone way too far, making too many words apparently insulting. I dont bother with it myself although I do refer to myself (at 5"0) as vertically challenged as a joke.
Re: Political correctness?
PC has gone too far. I'm going to leave my black = African American rant out of this one though, as I'm sure you've all heard it enough.

I very much agree with this statement. The rest as well.
