I don't know about you, but I find being called a racist very very insulting and disrespectful. I've been called a racist tons of times by these politically correct morons for my views on Islam, which is a religion and ideology and not a race. Political correctness is normally just a shield to be able to say whatever you want and try to stifle what other people want to say. Fuck political correctness.
You can say whatever you please. It's a free country. At least for the moment anyway. That doesn't mean you can control the reactions and actions of others. If I perceive something is racist or otherwise bigoted, I'm going to speak my mind.
Of course, I fully support your free speech and your ability to call whoever you want a racist. However you can't argue that you are in favor of political correctness because it's respectful dialog and at the same time call people racist all will nilly. Calling someone a racist isn't respectful. That's where political correctness loses me. It seems more a cover for people to be insulting and offended at the same time. I actually think political correctness is a attempt to do exactly what you say, control the reactions and actions of others or at the very least control their speech.
