Reply #32: You know, I never considered that word as being a part of poltical correctness [View All]

[bling bling]

Someone who's insulted because they don't like the word nigger isn't being politically correct in my mind. That's a legitimate issue with a nasty word. I don't know what I'd call it, though, just not PC.

You know the uproar that occured when Bill Maher (sp??) was fired for saying the 9/11 hijackers weren't cowards? That to me was politically correct issue. I thought it was silly and I thought it was *reaching* at least to some degree for people to be insulted and offended by such a statement.

I'm having a difficult time explaining my viewpoint on politically correct in terms of:
what I thought it used to mean and those things it included and still do vs. those terms (such as nigger) that got grouped into the concept of being politically correct.
