Overheard at work...

Good thing is, thanks to political correctness, thinking (or at least speaking) in such a way is culturally unacceptable in most places. Things do change. For instance not very long ago in most places in the UK it was thought acceptable to rape a woman - if she was your wife. Some people still do think like that! Thankfully, fewer each year.

PC - a huge pain in the neck. Just like a car seatbelt. I wouldn't like to live without either.

About the rape thing? No.

Or about PC? Well, I know in the US people have taken the whole PC thing into extremes, like branding you a Nazi if you eat a 'Chinese' and not a 'oriental meal'. Sort of like the same places took the whole lawsuit thing to extremes, too.

But if PC is the only reason I can't hear idle racist words in soaps and on general TV, then it's ok with me.
