First, political correctness is just being polite. Banning christmas is not being politically correct, it is stupid. Arabs in Jordan respect it. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/12/16/warab116.xml
Half the time, people use it as an excuse so that they can avoid having to spend money on decorations or the like. By blaming political correctness they actually save money. So when you see an example of political correctness going mad, think, who is going to save money?

Going to India wearing shorts would not get you killed it would just raise a few snigger's as apart from on the beach it is only children that wear them.
No idea where you got this misconception from.
I know exactly what you are trying to say. One of those countries with coloured people in it, they are all the same anyway. Stop being so PC and just voice your racist opinion.

Read Orwells 1984 if you haven't done so already. The idea of fiddling about with language to change the masses way of thinking is in that visionary story written in 1948 Just remember Baa baa BLACK sheep and Humpty Dumpty had a great fall and remember to sing them to your kids if you have young children.

Political correctness in Britain's been caused by Labour..
Labour are crap, ConservatIve are crap and so are The Liberal Democrats.. each one focuses on one aim and forgets about others, the reason each individual goes against or goes for that particular party because it suits their own particular needs..
Lately ive been looking at UKIP.. some may say its just the same as any other party- so it may be the case, but how do we know unless they've never been in power or have hardly a large name to the population of England.
Obviously as a new party someones thought against the current parties within and taken advantage of their ideas and mistakes. look up UKIP- BNP are way too right wing.

Oh, all this nonsense about political correctness gone mad, it drives me mad! What is about this time of year that makes lazy journalists write stories about so-called political correctness gone mad?

telling school kids they did not fail the test but they might want to think about attempting to probably achieve a slightly higher level of excellence.

Not allowing children to do nativity Christmas plays in case it offends other faiths!
I always believed that we lived in a multi cultural society - yet in a largely Christian country we must not cause offence!
Balderdash!
