I think political correctness causes more problems than it was ever designed to solve. Yes by all means defend people who are being flat out insulted but people are tending to take offence where none was ever intended. We cannot say 'blackboard' in case it offends black people but we can say 'white board'. Whit on earth should an accurate description of a black chalk borad offend anyone of any race or colour? It's crazy.
Yeah, One of the ones over here was, manhole covers. It seems, some feminists were offended and wanted to change it to personhole covers. Crazy doesnt begin to cover it.
