It's all about the Disney-fication of our culture, folks.
"If you can't say something nice, don't say nothing at all." -- Thumper Unfortunately, we're not all cartoon animals living in the forest with Beethoven playing in the background. Some of us have to live and work in the real world, in which things are not so nice. |

Never in my life have I considered not using the n word to be PC.
Basic decency, reasonable common sense behavior yes, but certainly not under the umbrella of PC.

It is a question of what works. When your kid misbehaves, you don't just say the first thing that comes into your head (hopefully). You reflect on what has happened, and your kids developmental level, and you try to craft an effective communication. Same thing with your wife or friends...if they upset you, you try to have a good, clear, effective communication about the problem or point of difference, and you self-censor words and concepts that will distract and/or unnecessarily inflame (at least, that is what I have learned to do, and it works much better than just "speaking my mind"). Because the goal is to have a good relationship, not to simply discharge your own discomfort, or to impose your will on the other. Some folks seem to believe that "the real world" does not warrant that kind of attention and care. Others feel that being similarly conscientious while in "the real world" is the only hope for negotiating times of conflict and darkness. We all get to choose... |

You're going to have to back that statement up with some examples.

I have a very hard time believing your statement to be anything more than an extremist opposition conspiracy theory. I did some reading and, from what I can gather, the non-defamation and anti-hate-speech regulations have been controversially applied and some might argue that it's a tightening control. But, I do not think the way you present it is fair or accurate. There are people in prison in the USA for stating certain beliefs and that is justified: I won't repeat those beliefs here as an example because I don't want to trigger some DHS/NSA search and have explaining to do

Yes, some blacks might be immigrants from Haiti or other Caribbean countries or they could even be African-Britons but, to be technically precise we are all of African origin. |

It seems to me that avoiding the use of the n word out of basic decency and reasonable common sense meets the very definition of political correctness. political correctness |pəˈlɪdəkəl kəˈrɛk(t)nəs| (also political correctitude) |

Cultural Appropriation is just a fancy schmancy term meaning discrimination,

I disagree that Political Correctness has become a pejorative (degraded / deteriorated) term.
To me, it has always meant> Political Correctness = Walking on Eggshells, H NOW, whomever deems to determine what is PC and what is not, that I do believe has deteriorated. TOO many things are now considered not PC in my opinion |

Some people seem to make a hobby out of being offended and seem to seek out controversy or make up some when they can't find any.
