I think you are pretty on the money with that statement...and with your post for that matter.
How offensive would it be to the rest of this country if someone hosted the "First Annual Caucasian Awards"? People of other ethnic backgrounds would have a fit but they have the Black American Awards, The American Latino Awards don't they? Its not like The KKK would be hosting it you know!
Of course there are times when being "politically correct" is necessary (for whites only it seems)...showing intelligence in an ever changing society.
But for people to believe some of the replacement words that have come about in the last few years make their products better than what they actually are is preposterous and to use those words to try to make people believe it is more ignorant than they think the people they are trying to sell to are.
