Who thinks this political correctness crap is going to far? just in general what do you think.
no examples just do you think it's getting outta hand.

Definately. Political correctness is the opposite of free speech. How can you have a democracy without freedom of speech.

Yep.. It's nuts.. I was at work the other day and was describing someone from another store to a manager, to find out who they were.

I said they were Asian and someone piped in that I was being racist.. After a bit of an outburst from me, that person felt pretty stupid. So they should..

As a man of colour myself, I hate people pussy footing around.. I know I'm black, it's no big secret.. It's okay to say it..

Of course a line must be drawn somewhere, but this is just nuckin futs..

I seem to have more of a problem with people using "privacy laws" as an excuse to not giving information and/or not to do something. PC was worse 5 years ago but Privacy seems to be taken over. OH&S is another excuse giving it a run for i'ts money.

Hehehe yeah I know about that one. I consider myself one of the most racially tolerant people and when I'm describing how to find somebody - if your Asian, Indian, Eskimo or whatever, thats what I'll discribe you as. If you are embarrassed by your heritage then that's sad but it isn't my problem. IMHO there is a huge difference in describing somebody as black/Asian/whatever and mis-treating or abusing them because of their background.

OHS is bulls**t. A bit off topic. Is anyone else noticing alot of white people calling other white people or their own mates niggas? Well not alot but I have noticed a few and its just bloody stupid. There were two white guys fighting at the pub the other night and they were both calling each other that while they were fighting. I felt like telling them to shut the f**k up. Listening to too much hip hop maybe. But then again I listen to hip hop religiously and I dont say it.
