I think everybody should say what they think, doesn't matter if it offends someone. That way we know who's the asshole in the room.
Cos you know, free speech and all that
Being an advocate of political correctness does not entail wishing for it be enacted into law. I don't want people to call black people "niggers," but I do not want it to be illegal to do so.
If someone does call black people "niggers," it is likely to influence my decision on whether or not to associate with the person. And, depending on the circumstances, I may criticize someone for doing so. You may choose for yourself with whom you will associate. My guess is that you will act in a similar manner to me on this particular point.
