How politically correct are you?

[Rev. Rye]

How politically correct are you? Do you say "vertically challenged"? Do you avoid saying "black"? Do you think it's ok to make fun minorities, the disabled, et? Do you think that the PC type of thinking that is so common these days is a good or a bad thing? What about the compensation culture?

I doubt that I can quantify how P.C. one is, but I'm pretty sure I can safely say I'd be far towards the non PC end of the scale. I often refer to my own racial aggregate as "honkies," and I tend to usually say "Black", preferring it to "African-American", partly because A) it's succinct, B) because all of humanity comes from Africa, thus making the claim to have African ancestry to be redundant, C) because there are white people in Africa who moved to America (like Charlize Theron and Dave Matthews) more deserving of the hyphenate, and D) most black people I've known don't seem to have much of a problem with the term anyway. However, I do tend to not like racist jokes, mainly because my taste in tasteless humor tends to lean strongly towards jokes about sex and violence, as opposed to melanin content.
