Ordinary folks going about their everyday lives cannot keep up with the preferred nomenclature of consciousness raising minority activists. Just with respect to race, the list of what whites are "allowed" to say and not say gets constantly revised. Why are there groups called the United Negro College Fund and National Association for the Advancement of Colored People but it is racist for a white guy to refer to people with Sub-Saharan ancestors as negro or colored?
People are free to use whatever terms they wish, even derogatory ones. It seems that what you actually have an issue with, is others having the freedom to respond using the terms that they wish.
It's not that simple. The responses are not confined to debate and discussion; but rather, include attempts to ruin peoples reputations and take away their livelihoods.
Leaders of private organizations are forced to resign for things said in private. Businesses get subjected to boycotts, not because of actual business practices, but because the owners' personal opinions. PC proponents are coercive and vindictive cunts that respond disproportionately to minor slights.
