People today have lost their back bone they are not willing to stand up for what they know is right so they invent reasons to accept what is wrong.

Political Correctness is going to be the demise of us all! Even those that are protected. This 'Feel Good' about myself is ruining our ability to succeed on ones own ability. There's nothing wrong with who you are, just let me be who I am without worrying about hurting your feelings. Why must we bring ourselves down to satisfy those that are weak, they need to bring themselves upto the level of those that they think are belittling them. Life is not fair, its human nature to compete, those that lose need to learn how to win.

I have nothing against profiling, I am Italian, I can pass as middle eastern, if they want to pull me out of the line at the airports, fine, it'll make those around me feel better and makes me feel better that they are doing their job.

School playground and gym sports where there is no score does not teach how to accept losing, there is no reason to try to be the best if they are going to give it to me, this goes for the workplace too. PC has got to go. We have given way to a bunch of complainers - They protest, we give 'em what they want. In better terms and exactly what it is.. Pouting children..

Everyone is different! There are no two people alike on the face of the earth so the only thing that "political correctness" does is labels us, and files us away into categories. I refuse to label my friends as my "black" friends, or my "Jewish" friends, or my "middle class" friends. They are my friends regardless. Labeling does nothing but drive people apart. The ones who think that they are being kind by being "politically correct" are just patronizing the people they are talking about.

When we accept the differences of others whether it is race, religion, gender, age, child rearing beliefs, anything...then there will be no need for being politically correct...just honesty!

it's killing the English language not adding to it

Political correctness has cost people jobs, licenses, and political bases. It also dilutes stereotypes to a grayness that would otherwise be a colorful world. It is a shame. I prefer bright colors to that of shades of Whiteness and Blackness.
