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. 
yeah, it's really dumb around here. it started with a bunch of "feminists" who thought they were the collective mommies of the world and wagged their fingers in everyone's faces. they actually thought if you tell people not to say "bad" words, they won't have "bad" thoughts. which is a load of cr.ap
people still have stupid, sexist, racist ideas. they just are clever enough not to say the words. but they ACT the ideas out. PC is just lying.
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.
I'd rather people just said their dumb ideas. that way i can deal with it out in the open.
i'm not afraid of people saying dumb things. however tiresome it gets, it's better than repression.
