How Politically Correct are You?

I am in the middle of the road on being politically correct.  There wouldn't be any comedians out there if they were politically correct. So, no, I'm not easily offended. =)

I think the world has become too politically correct.  I'm not literally white, but I don't care if people call me white.  I don't care if people thank Jesus or Buddha, or whomever they worship.  Our country, in all its freedoms, is becoming very strict.

personally, i don't believe in the term "politically correct" because i think as a free human being, you have the ability to decide for yourself what you think is correct. In a way i do aagree with you, a part of society is trying to be so anti racist, that it sort of backfires, but then again on the otherside of the scale there are still many many people who really are racists. I think we need to put a stop to this, why do we have to be portrayed as a colour, why can't we all just be portrayed as human beings? is there something so wrong or hard about that , that people can't just try it, for once just try treating everbody equally. peace out.

Political correctness is unjust and nonsense where common sense barley makes it. It increases prejudice and discrimination by picking on and highlighting issues that before was not there but only in the cranky minds of the political correctness brigade. It barmy liberal laws has benefited hard and persistant criminals as themselves real victims and treated so softly that the police are now powerless to stop criminals re-offending which for the real victims of these criminal brutes they are the last consideration only to be insulted by court decisions of leniency to their wrongdoers.\nPolitical correctness is has become a cancer to decent common sense and blights our society and it is high time it was thrown into the history books of legalised madness that should never be allowed to rear it's ugly head again.

Just about.  I don't agree with the order, and racism.  Other than that, you nailed it.

Politically correct history is what's wrong with our world.  If only factual events were told (with no political spin) people could make up their minds for themselves who was right and who was wrong, instead of being TOLD what to believe.

I was with you in agreement until you tried saying being politically correct has anything to do with some sort of conspiracy movement of the left towards communism.\n\nYou are off base as the reasons behind being politically correct.\n\nTeaching ppl to be sensitive to others is a healthy thing.\n\nUsing terminology that is of a negative tone is detrimental to society. For example, I can't stand to hear the phrase, "runs like a girl." unless it is actually about someone running I guess. But most of the time it is referring to running away like a coward. That always ticks me off when I believe women have more courage than men when it comes for standing up and fighting for what we believe in at all cost.\n\nWith all that said though, it can be taken to the extreme. And I have no clue what has happen to the phrase, "sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me."\n\nThat teaches us to let negative things bounce off us and that we choose to let somebody's elses opinion of us hurt us or not. We seem to have lost that mentality.\n\nSo you see, being politcally correct has nothing to do with any agenda whatsoever. It is about being sensitive and courteous.. an idealism that the rightwing has seemed to have lost.

Yes, because liberals gave us political correctness.  If you disagree with them they'll automatically call you a racist, homophobe, xenophobe or what have you.  You can't really have a rational discussion with them, because they're so upset that anyone would dare disagree with them.

Absolutely too far. My friend is dating a guy who comes from Gambia and he has said he would prefer to be called Black than the "politically correct" coloured. He says we are all coloured and he would actually prefer to be called nigger than coloured. It's just ridiculous. With the profession that i am in i am always having to be very careful about what i say so as not to upset anyone. Criminals are no longer allowed to be called criminal but offenders. Those in prison are not longer inmates, they, again, are offenders. In my town we were not even allowed to have Santa's grotto and Christmas decorations for fear of sparking racial problems! Instead they were called Holiday Decorations and anual turning on of the Christmas lights had to be called "Holiday Ceremony". We are allowed flags in pubs for St. Georges day but the same pubs were threatened with fines and closure if they put up the St. Georges Cross and did any special event for St. Georges day. Problem is, i am now offended and feel as i am being treated unfairly.But do they listen to a mid twenties, white "middle class" woman? You have got to be joking!\nAnd i have just noticed that one word i used has been starred out even though it is not meant offensively but it context to a conversation!

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.

It's politically incorrect to ask questions like yours.

I think political correctness is what is bringing our country down today. Everyone is so afraid of hurting everyone's feelings, no one can really say what they feel anymore.\n\nWhen I was growing up, there was much more cooperation in the nation. You could actually *gasp!* disagree with someone, and it was okay. You felt one way, and your neighbor felt another way. When the debate was over, you rolled up your sleeves and went to work side-by-side to get the work done.\n\nToday, if you disagree with someone, you are a traitor or ignorant or a moron. Just look at some of the things people are saying about me on this website solely because I am a conservative Republican.\n\nThere is no Constitutional guarantee against being offended. If you don't like what someone is saying, so what? Appreciate the difference of opinion - discourse is what made this country great.\n\nPeople need to grow up and stop wearing their emotions on their sleeve.
