Being politically uncorrect just means either saying what you really think, or it can mean having a laugh. For example I have a friend who's black and I've lost count of the number of times I've called him a nigger and he's fine with it. And I used to go out with a girl who was black (and still is) and I used to have a little joke with her from time to time and she was fine with that, and she had a laugh at my expense also. People who are strong enough to not fall apart just because someone has a friendly laugh at their expense just can't understand who those who do, do. Gay people call each other queer, black people call each other niggers, and friends call each other names all the time. It's funny to make fun of each other, and the pc brigade don't seem to like fun for some reason, thinking that namecalling or being coarse with each other is a cause for mass hysteria. I live in the UK and some time back a comedian, his name is Frankie Boyle, made a joke about a disabled woman, or her daughter (I can't remember which), and there was a lot of fuss made over that. And we have a comedian called Jim Davidson, who has also been attacked by the pc nanny brigade for his down to earth humour. He makes fun out of all sorts. Once he said to a black member of an audience that he thought the chair was empty until he smiled. The guy laughed his head off, he loved it. And quite rightly so, it was very funny. Another thing that the pc brigade hate is when someone in a minority says that they like it when people make fun of them. It drives them nuts, and shows just how silly it is to make a fuss.
