It's hard to define PC. Some will say any sensitivity towards others is PC; others are more selective. Basically, I'm a liberal and all my liberal friends were opposed to it going too far, such as insisting that we can no longer study Shakespeare because he's a dead white male, and that we should seek out female writers of the time. No matter that the Bard has been and will continue to be more influential that many other writers, female or male, of the period.
I think it is simply common sense to be open-minded. Anyone simply willing to shock, then claiming they are being attacked by overly-PC types is just as uptight as extreme PC.

Political correctness is a bunch of bullcrap. That`s what is wrong with the US today !! If more people (polliticians) would just say what the heck they mean MAYBE WE THE PEOPLE WOULD ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT THE CRAP THEY ACTUALLY STAND FOR.... and that goes for all of government and all people. Maybe are kids wouldn`t be such woosies and are teachers would actually be able to teach and maybe we would still have a little fear of GOD because he wouldn`t have been taken away from us in all levels except for church and home.

It does nothing except further the gap between society. it puts a name to our differences and labels people that used to be part of the crowd.

Hell no. It only makes others stand out for their demerits rather than their accomplishments. PC is a useless practise thought up of by spineless and incompetent politicians.

I am most definitely not PC. I calls 'em like I sees 'em.
There's a song called "Everyone's a little bit racist" I believe it.
"Everyone's a little bit racist sometimes.
Doesn't mean we go around comitting hate crimes.
Look around and you will find
No one's really colorblind
Maybe it's a fact we all should face
Everyone makes judgement based on race
Not big judgements like who to hire,
little judgments, like thinking Mexican busboys should learn to speak some G-D English!"

Man is a political animal, nothing wrong or right in his political action, because every action (political articultion) has put forwarded for an object.
