For me, the problem with P.C. is not things like the n word which I myself am not comfortable saying even when I am quoting someone. My problem with what is called "p.c" is when it is used to stifle, not a single word, but debate about ideas or concepts. Look at how the TEA Party is portrayed in the mainstream media and by many here. They are portrayed as racists, bigots and homophobes? Why? Not because of any actual positions on race they have taken. They have never called for segregation for example. But because they oppose a president who happens to be black. I view THAT as racist. Isn't it racist to treat someone differently BECAUSE of that person's race? Would you have called me racist for protesting Bush? Probably not.</blockquote>
