Political correctness.

[chrisras]

Has the politically correct police gone to far? 

Thoughts?

[Sprouts Farmers Market ✘]

They have gone very far sometimes.

At least you can't accuse her of being too politically correct.

Not far enough. The privileged must be guillotined ASAP.

[OSR stands with Israel]

Of course ( literally sane)

[Ban my account ffs!]

The PC police are very discriminatory. Racists saying something that might be implied/subtle racism is punished far more than non-racists saying something that might be implied/subtle racism.

Yes. We all already have a "safe space" called the privacy of our own home.

If you ask me, while we can be excessive with PC sometimes, I think the anti-PC crowd is trendy and can be annoying themselves.

     The PC police lack self-consciousness. They can voice closely-held beliefs that are fundamentally quite racist, but they don't notice or care because they are convinced that they are the ones in the right.

That's why they changed the definition of racism so that now instead of "discrimination on the basis of race" to them it means "something something evil white people". That way the new definition of racism is inherently racist, and being opposed to racism is now itself construed as racism because not discriminating on the basis of race "perpetuates" evil white beliefs like color-blindness. Kind of like the Orwellian freedom is slavery argument.

     Really, Freedom is Slavery would be an excellent slogan for the SJW crowd. Their collectivist argument has led them to the conclusion that self-advancement is an illusion and the individual experience is irrelevant (unless it is to congratulate themselves on being so special and oppressed). It is no mistake that people have to be taught to think in this manner; it runs so far counter to how people naturally tend to think.

[MK]

YES.   Mention illegal immigration and you are immediately a racist.

Atlas has turned this common sense, real-life rule of thumb into a punchline, but the answer - as it usually does - lies in the middle.  Someone who calls you a sexist for typing "he" instead of taking the time to write "he or she"?  He or she can  off.

Someone who's complaining that he can't say negro anymore and it's hard to keep up with the new terms?  He can, too.

Native American is cool. They aren't from India.
African American is stupid.
I think when the politically correct police want to ban all humor that's going too far.
If the pendulum doesn't start swinging back to "normalcy" (grammatically incorrect), we won't even be able to make fun of straight white christian males who are overweight.

[°Leprechaun]

Oh my, didn't you get the memo, the politically correct term for that is "phvck"

[GameofChance]

It's a two way street. Social Justice Warriors can go jump off a cliff, but there are also those on the opposite end of the spectrum who like to cry "PC Police" at times when no such thing is actually happening. They should jump off a cliff too.
