No, the pc mandate is not propagating ethnic slurs and racial myths on tv.  The social justice mandate is about equality, but not through taking anything from anyone.  The entire social justice contention is that much is being taken -from- all of us, yes, some more than others..and that this needs to stop.  
It seems to me you just said "no" to something I didn't say, and then defined the PC mandate pretty much as I just did.

Quote:Somehow, in your mind, equality has been transformed into differential treatment.  The reason we have inequality in the first place, is due to differential treatment.  Addressing that differential treatment is not..itself, differential treatment.
There are two approaches to bringing equality in a case where it does exist:
1) Make policies which will have the tendency to establish equality.
2) Make policies which "accelerate" the bringing of equality by deliberately boosting some groups and not others.
