share some examples of political correctness gone mad?

Question

i thought you had to call it a dry wipe board

yes the union flag is made up from 3 different flags, england, wales and scotland (it's only jack at sea) so why should a flag that is ombined of more than 1 country be called racist it's not even JUST the england/scotland/welsh flag which could be considered isoltionist but still not racist

Answer 1

You know what makes me ill...that it's not politically correct to say that "I'm white and proud"...you are automatically labeled as a racist..it's only ok to be proud of your heritage and background if you are something other than Caucasian.

Answer 2

I don't have any example that are specific to me, though I have to say the one that annoys me the most is that the English flag is considered racist. It's our national flag!! And there were so many varied flags on display during the recent World Cup, from countries all over the world, and yet it is only ours that's considered racist. How can that be??

Answer 3

i attempted to cost a pair of solutions right here however the equipment seems to be like failing somewhat. Mojo, I agree - how a lot of our indications are fairly written, they are as a rule in simple terms symbols which artwork to boot in Russia, China or Japan (or everywhere else for that count). No get admission to does not might desire to be written, an emblem is clean sufficient and the comparable one is used throughout the time of the worldwide. the only indications that are often written are directional - and so if somebody finally leads to Chippenham, Wiltshire, extremely than Chippenham, Cambridgeshire, I doubt if everybody rather concerns. the only element that i will say is that between the terrific written highway indications I even have ever considered became in Australia. in case you look down the 'out' lanes of a twin carriage way (which might mean that in case you have been using down them you would be going the incorrect way), there are indications asserting 'turn back!' If I observed a demonstration like that, even though if it have been written in eastern, i'm particular that it could make me think of roughly which area of the line I might desire to be using on! I doubt if the newspaper checklist became maximum appropriate. they are going to do something to sell their stuff!

Answer 4

How about this; awarding a "Certificate of Attendence" to students too dense to warrant a high school diploma because it's not politically correct to hurt the stupid git's feelings about being too dumb to graduate high school.

So they recognize that he was there, and move him through the system without any education at all because there are just too many others backing up who will need to be systematized too.

Answer 6

There is a midget policeman here in Northern Ireland apparently. Now I have absolutely nothing against midgets, but lets be honest - if you are being mugged or robbed, it's hardly gonna fill you with a sense of security if he were to pull up outside.
It's all just to fill an equal opportunity quota....Brilliant.

Answer 7

Good question.
Perhaps a lot of it is folks asking questions about political correctness, stirring the whole issue up again.
Quite right to ask, but I just leave sleeping dogs lie.
Some people I meet are daft enough as it is
Correctness has got to be just common values, and when you hear a rant in the wrong silly direction, just ignore it and follow your beieifs.
