The social situations are the same as when PC began. Sexist and racist humor is creating a negative environment in the workplace for women and minorities.

PC is nothing but a band aid or aspririn. Both fight the symptoms, but not the underlying desease.
If you want to something against the desease, you better find a therapy for it and not just sweep it under the carpet. I don't have any numbers, but I would be very surprised if mobbing against minorities or sexual assault on women or other incidences along these lines gew less frequent with the introduction of the PC culture.
I agree a true cure is needed. But how would my hypothetical person above deal with misogyny in the workplace?
God thinks it's fun to confuse primates. Larsen's God!
