Answer 1

Maybe you are looking for an example. What used to be negroes became black folks and are now African-Americans. Can a black family from the Carribean with no connection to africa be called "African-American" just because they now live in the usa? I don't think so.

Answer 2

of course just because something is polically "correct" doesn't mean it is something you have to believe, infact i think alot of politically correct things are stupid ppl have become too sensitive  

Answer 3

i think politically correct is a big sad joke with no punch line, it just keeps getting worse and worse and worse.

there are terms i won't use because of the blatant rudness of them. but society can give me a break about being all primp and proper and inoffensive. i open my mouth and speak my thoughts. s***w'em if they don't like it.

Answer 4

European pool vacuum. lol

That book looks hilarious, I like Rapunzel the best.  

Answer 5

That's obviously true. I never heard of this silly PC stuff in my native Italy or in France, Spain and Germany when I lived in these countries. The United States has good and bad ideas. PC is a bad one. You can't find anything that won't offend someone, so the quest is futile from the start. Whoever invented this "balle" (Italian for BS) should be in jail.

Answer 6

true!♥

Answer 7

Political correctness is another one of those oxymorons that morons invent, e.g. affirmative action, that do not help anyone but hurt many. It is only a pretense of a solution to a problem that is more fantasy than reality. Miyuki is from Japan, so she has some different ways from Americans, and I am happy that she does. Asians are quiet and polite usually, so they are not noticed by the morons who decide what is politically correct. It is sad that people who are the loudest and most obnoxious are the ones who receive the most consideration in such matters as political correctness.

Answer 8

I completely agree, well said...   For anything that can be said, there is someone on Earth who would take offense to it.

Answer 9

"While in Rome do as Romans do".

That's Politically Correct!

Answer 10

Of course.  PC is based on human judgements which are always right to some and wrong to others.

Answer 11

Yes, unless that which is politically correct becOmes an absolute truth. From a Relativism view-point, such a thing does not exist, sir.

Answer 12

what is the definition of "correct"?

Answer 13

yes because no one can agree on anything and yes because their is only one right answer, but it always has to be proved and shown before that other person believes them.  

Answer 14

If all matters of debate were subjected to moral principles then yes, a certain degree of Political correctness could be engineered to suit a select few or many to assume politically correct convictions or adaptations.

However it is erroneous to consider that all political correctness is subject to someone else view of it. The interpretation could be defective, an' while that could be argued a challenge, it is that...a defect from what is realized. Therefore we cannot have Political correctness if it satisfies no ultimate moral principles that regardless of what interpretations of certain individuals...[will and cannot] they render them changeless. Political correctness is achieved then when there appears no attempt of argument on it's use, or lessen the impact of harsher or stranger truths other than itself. It is a tool to convey just, and unbiased commentary.

Answer 15

Yes.
