Political Correctness is simply a means of limiting someone elses freedoms so that you can practice your own.\n\nIt serves no legitimate purpose and is actually detrimental.  People don't change how they think, they simply go underground.\n\nAs a child, I knew that narrow minded, bigoted people used racial slurs.  It made them easy to identify.  Now, you don't hear the slurs, but you can't find the bigots either.\n\nThey're still there, and still practicing bigotry.  We just can't find them now.  \n\nThank Political Correctness.

Freedom of Speech is what I believe you are referring to.  Political Correctness was invented by universities that obviously have a lot of time on their hands.  Freedom of Speech is written into the Constitution of the United States and is and should be looked at with more forethought than what a bunch of busy bodies in and around a college campus thought was/is important.

Unlike most, who will give the standard politically correct answer you probably expect, I will tell you the hard truth.\n\nStereotypes and generalizations are based primarily on group traits, based on years and perhaps centuries, of common reactions to different situations.  In short, there ARE traits exhibited by different ethnic and racial groups that are typical to that group.  I am not talking about skin color but rather common traits found in slang speech, clothing choices, even vehicle choices.  It is based on cultural values and experience that goes to the root of that particular race or ethnic group and has been cultivated over thousands of years.  Thats why you will find Jews heavily in finance, Germans tending towards advanced engineering, the Italians having a sharp sense of style, etc.

Logical levels of abstraction and specification exist in the realms of the social, mental and physical -> so yes such concepts are a smothering by politically minded people, but also concepts are maintained by those without time to consider such things or minds...... its also worth stating that biological, psychological and social differences do exist and are studied by psychologists, neurologists, sociologists and the like -> however these studies are usually stopped in this politically crazy era in order to stop 'socially sensititve implications' occuring and thus causing mindless racisism and homophobia - obviously we cant go into every element but i think these are key concepts

Absolute corruption of morals, values, beliefs, etc...  The forced feeding of liberal ideas to very influenceable young minds.  "It's OK to be a fag", "Christians are idiots", "All white men are evil".  F--- the media.

Politically correct just means that the majority of ppl that hear what you have to say will agree w/ it, and that you don't piss someone of...that you don't ofend the higher ups...why do we worry? B/c ppl always like to suck up to the big shots. Who cares? We shouldn't. Speak your mind no matter what.

Linguistic or social conventions involve the language and or ethnic order of the language spoken today. The study of words and their meanings involve so much more.  We learn where words originate and how those same words are taken and variations used to produce "slang" "idioms" and other forms of the language we speak today.  Some words originated in one form and over the years, have progressed into other meanings because of the social changes and growth in our society. For example - there was a time that the word "colored" was used in referenced to African American people. Socially, our society has progressed and changed and this word no longer is used for this definition. There are other words that have socially progressed because of laws, technology, geographic and socioeconmic challenges in our society.

This a no brainer. Morality originated in God's realm to personify the conduct he expected from his children in the social world. To interact with one another in such a manner as to promote healthy relationships all over the world. Treat each other with respect, kindness, compassion, love, forgiveness, thus creating a social enviornment similiar to what heaven must be like, blissful.

It is Not a race.  It was a made up word from the 1970's.  Specifically by a Mexican-American Professor at Berkley.  Much like many of the phrase's "invented by the Politically correct","I wonder what ever happened to Donna Shalayla?"  It also has a great deal in common with words invented by Politically Correct movements in the Late 1930's and early 1940.  As well as the Late Victorian early Edwardian. Gentille Speak.  Popular with the Pompous around the turn of the 19th and 20th century.

I am brutally honest and I don't believe in sugar coating something to make myself look better so I imagine I am as far from Politically correct as they come...\n\nTo correct myself according to what society wishes I were...would be to compromise my own dignity and morals.
