Is political correctness in America a serious problem?
Yes: 79%
No: 16%
The word "political correctness" may be unpopular, but on most of the issues it has won. Most significantly the collapse of homophobia(hell, recent polls even show a majority of Americans supporting gay marriage), opposition to interracial marriages, opposition to to women defying traditional gender roles(see here:http://www.diversitybestpractices.com/news-articles/allstate-poll-explores-americans-opinions-changing-gender-roles-economy-workplace-and-), etc. Better yet this collapse is most extensive among the youth.
Just compare the society of today to the society of the 1950s.
Most importantly we've won the "on the ground" battle. America is increasingly diverse(the most recently born babies being predominantly nonwhite), marriage rates and church attendance rates are declining and the internet has enabled the rise and freedom of subcultures to a degree unimaginable decades ago.

Source? This surprises me given recent polls showing majority support for extending hate crime laws to protect homosexuals

Overwhelming majority also think that the rich should pay higher taxes and that income inequality is a problem. I recall the overwhelming majority favouring a public option, an emphasis on job creation rather then deficit reduction.
Come on mate, nation polls have no relevance to legal judgements by courts. You know this.
The bolded is a particularly stupid assertion. 60%(according to your poll) think society is fair and decent
overall. That is hardly a reflection on this particular case. I don't think any sane person on either side of the argument would use the adjective "fair" to describe this case, including you.
I certainly agree with this. Always think for yourself.
