So Now The Word "Field" May Be Considered Racist?,Then What?,The Word "Cotton"?

[Mac1958]

PC is yet another way for angry, belligerent leftists to oppress the population. A great rule in life is to never take offense where none is intended. The PC crowd looks for ways to be offended.

In what possible way for example does the name Washington Redskins harm anyone? I've never heard it in all the years I've been a fan of the team used derogatorily towards anyone

Some people have always been offended by the name, that number has grown, things change, that's life. If the battle over the name seems stupid to you then don't take a position, like I did. If they change the name, fine, if they keep it, fine, I got bigger things to worry about.

None of which has anything to do with my question. How can anyone actually be offended reasonably by the name when they can simply not root for the Redskins? No one is using it derogatorily they can just ignore them or root against them. And they are going to government to force them to change it

Everyone chooses what things offend them. People messing with their phone while I am trying to talk them bugs the fuck out of me but that's just me. The "anti-PC" crowd has chosen to be offended by society just as much as the "PC police" crowd. I am saying to not participate in either side of it, say what you want, if it is ignorant, dishonest or hateful just be prepared for consequences, that's how it has been since humans started talking.

Our choices are to cater to the PC crowd or to be personally offended by them. Got it. Tell me how you're smarter than Republicans because you aren't all black and white like they are again...

Tell the PC crowd to shove their nit-picking if it personally affects you in some way, it's easy if you actually weren't being shitty in the first place. Simply taking a side in the debate is going to offend someone, the best way is to only give it the attention it deserves which is very little.

"Nit-picking" is one thing. Nit-pick all you want.

Attacking and intimidating and trying to punish and/or destroy someone is something else.

You do see the distinction, don't you?

If this debate is more important to you than anything that has to do with actual suffering or hardship then you are paying far too much attention to it. People who decide to talk shit in public do so at their peril and the peril is great in this connected world, but it's the world we live in, which happens to contain a lot of professional victims. There are ways to push back if you must without sounding like a victim or an attacker, you have to condemn the entire debate as silliness.

NEARLY 3 IN 4 AMERICANS THINK POLITICAL CORRECTNESS IS A PROBLEM

Political correctness is one of the biggest arguments in favor of–and against–the presidential candidacy of Donald Trump. How do Americans feel about it? A new Rasmussen poll shows a clear majority opposed.
From Rasmussen Reports:

Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump during the first pre-primary debate reiterated a point he’s made throughout his campaign that “the big problem this country has is being politically correct.” Most Americans strongly agree with that sentiment.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 71% of American Adults think political correctness is a problem in America today, while only 18% disagree. Ten percent (10%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

Poll: 7/10 Americans Think Political Correctness Is a Problem
