Well, I can certainly agree with not offending others and showing them the respect they are due as people. My dislike of PC stems from its contradiction: if discrimination against others is to be stamped out (as it should be), then why use PC to point out--even highlight--differences? Besides, the only black people I know who have anything to do with Africa are those who have immigrated from there.
Oh, well. The more people who voice their opinion on a subject means that a better solution will be found more quickly, whether they agree or not. As long as they disagree responsibly, that is. [img]graemlins/petard.gif[/img]
