Are you saying that it being "PC" to suggest that it's wrong for people to beat
up on minorities just because they're minorities? There's a wide difference
between the extreme "PC" view that one should always heap everyone with praise
and never suggest that someone might be less that the greatest that ever lived,
and a totally hatefull view that group X should be ground up for pig food or
whatever.
The biggest problem I have with the "PC" movement is that it has gotten so
extreme that it is allowing people to claim that any suggestion that they
should respect others as being "PC".
