I'm not sure how it began. But as I said before there's a broad spectrum of people who argue against political correctness and a broad spectrum of the type of political correctness they're arguing about.
I argue against political correctness that I think is over doing it, it doesn't mean I want to be able to kick a black, muslim, disabled, lesbian pregnant woman in the stomach in the work place and be able to get away with it.
Action should be taken against any forms of bullying in the work place whoever it's against, whether it's on the basis of them being a minority or not.
I think some forms of political correctness is overdoing it and I think some forms of anti political correctness is overdoing it. I'm very boringly in the middle and on the side of common sense.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
