I wish I was white and lived in the 50s. I could drink on the job, call people the N word, call every minority some slang. I am complaining of this PC b/c I don't get that life anymore. I am not the majority anymore.

There are two points to being politically correct:
1) To make it harder to be the butt of a joke. (A joke may be funny when using the word "bald" but the punchline just doesn't work when using "follically challenged").

2) To respect the people you are speaking with or speaking of.

On issue #1, yes being politically correct is way overdone and needs to be scaled back. For example, it is so rediculous to call blacks who were born and live Europe "African Americans". They are neither African nor American, possibly having never stepped foot in either of those locations. We really need to go back to calling them black. Luckilly, many people are reverting back on this issue.

On issue #2, no one in their right mind should want to scale that back. Political correctness, when done right is not a fad and should not end. Political correctness if done right should be highly encouraged.

However, political correctness when factually inaccurate or overdone, needs to end.

This is America we're supposed to be a free country with free speech. Screw peoples feelings anyone can say whatever they want.

I got sick of it back in the early 90's but yet here it is 1000x stronger.

I know i'm whining about whinging...its so damn ridiculous now.

If it started in the early 90's, I'm not sure it qualifies as a "fad" anymore.

OK, so you are a liar and have no understanding of the issue of gender identity and the sort of measures the school would take to prevent the sort of thing you want to do.
You mean some school administrator gets to rule on my gender identity? How is this different than the old system?

Besides, that probably wouldn't even count as an erection.

Ouch.

Lol. I don't think you're oppressed because you're a minority, more so probably because you seem to be an insufferable, shitty human being.

It was my understanding that the true symbol of Vivian's ultimate oppression was the fact that she's only wearing socks...
But her stance and expression say that she could take her right foot and whop you on that side of your face and you wanna know something? There's not a damn thing you're gonna be able to do about it.

Well, in that case, you seem to grok Vivian.

Don't forget nailing the secretary and smacking your wife around when you get home--what's she gonna do, divorce you?

And that is still true, only people get to say what ever they want back to you. It seems that the anti-PC crowed is just pissed off that all the people they insult are willing to say things back to them now. Sometimes those things are 'You're Fired'.

You must be white. Racism from whites is way worse than when its between other minorities. The people complaining about too much PC are white and have never had to experience being a minority. Walk in my shoes...
Yeah... because white people are totally doing this:

Oddly, that doesn't seem to work on Trump.

only reason I made this thread was because in Toronto, the schools are banning chicago blackhawk jerseys. That is my favourite logo for hockey teams.
