There's a difference between political correctness and pointing out ignorance.

No one comes at comedians for being offensive because for the most part, people understand that's just part of the territory. When you're a public figure who is supposed to be held in high regard, you're expected to not say dumb, ignorant comments. If you can't do that, be a civilian.

Nah. People like you are just upset that they're finally getting called out for the offensive **** they say.

Those who bemoan "political correctness" are the worst. Is it so hard not to be inconsiderate?

It's is absolutely out of control and I am so sick of it! Reverse racism is higher than it's ever been and the White race is truly being discriminated against!!!! Racism against White people is a real thing these days and it's allowed! Why can you be racist towards White people and not towards Coloreds!!11?! I mean Negros or ermm Blacks...or whatever the hell they are called! I don't know and I don't give a damn because I don't put up with this PC madness!!! Prejudice towards White people is real and it's the worst thing that has ever happened in history! Worse than the Native American or Armenian genocide, worse than the Holocaust and Civil Rights movement put together! White people are the true victims of racism! I am so sick of these damn people pulling the race card!!1111!

Not at all. I'm more tired of people throwing around phrases intended to be insulting and demeaning like "sensitive" and "politically correct" just for having people take responsibility for their words. I think its great that people are choosing to speak up and voice their opinion.

The only ones I see ever say things like this in public are those who are in the protected class in society. This class always resort to calling others "social justice warriors" just for speaking out against

Why does it bother you that people call people out on their stuff? Why does this bother you? If all of this bothers you maybe you should not be on the internet.

umm sis

What about the people who don't have any track history of being inconsiderate and just make a stupid comment, we all do it, no one is immune to it, so they should have their lives ruined?

Because that is where we are today a badly worded comment or something taken out of context splashed all over the 24/7 news cycle.

PC is way out of hand I never thought we would be a nation afraid of words.

No it's called karma. It's your master just accept it.

I thought this was serious until I saw the "11" I screamed at

Tell em

Yes. It went too far. Being equal is not when someone is "more equal" than another person. African-Americans get scholarships for being black, while I have to pay full tuition (and I'm not American). Also, quotas are sad. A smarter person can lose to a less smart person because of them while applying to colleges or work

Erm. Exactly whose lives have been "ruined" over a simple misinterpretation?

This is great.

I would make a comment but I won't for fear of being labelled as politically incorrect

Karma? Master?
1. Everyone should be equal, not "more equal"
2. So by your logic, we should ban all Germans for their nazi past? They have learned their lessons. Also, I'm white, but from Europe, should I get karma too?

Yes but only because people won't have a healthy discussion.

What you described in the OP isn't political correctness gone too far, it's just what low-key racists say whenever someone points out something ignorant.

Most of those quotas are no longer in place anymore and affirmative action has been struck down. They however were put in place to try to decrease the stigmas and effects of being a minority in this country.

Yes
