I think what this thread is about is basically around the same basis as a thread I was going to start but just couldn't be bothered.
I think a lot of this PC vs non PC thing revolves around trust or distrust in human nature and how much you think human nature needs to be governed by groups of people.
A few questions which I don't have the answer to one way or the other are....
How much of the PC culture that is going on now is the government responsible for? And I don't mean the over the top PC culture I mean simple things like reducing racism and sexism in the work place.
Without government intervention how badly would people treat each other in the work place.
Are people who are without religion or political power hanging over them naturally sexist, racist, xenophobic people? I mean I know religion and government sometimes causes these things but they can effectively prevent it to an extent.
I don't live in America, but I get the impression that there's severe differences in how a lack of political intervention would work in different locations there.
This is a topic where I admit I don't know the exact answer of what is right or wrong. I'll be on the PC side sometimes but then I'll watch a youtube video of someone who makes incredibly good arguments against government intervention in the work place and on the other hand people who are for PC make up good arguments for government intervention.

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.
