On Political Correctness
When did not wanting to eat shitty banh mi become a case of political correctness gone too far?  If I pay for a slice of prosciutto di parma and get ham from some farm in the US, shouldn&#x27;t I rightfully be pissed off?<p>It also seems to me that the so called &quot;pc police&quot; feature more prominently in peoples imaginations than they do in their actual lives.  Any time I&#x27;ve seen someone called out (in real life) for issues of cultural sensitivity, it has been in a respectful and reasonable fashion, even if the situation has warranted a much harsher response (and occasionally it has).<p>The situation online or in a college is a bit different, but at the end of the day I would consider it similar to talking to a stranger at a bar; if you talk some shit, expect to get shit talked.  If you have a problem with that, you can go crying to the bouncer, but if they are at all good at their job, they will either nod and ignore you, or kick you out if you are out of line.<p>I realize the analogy is a bit crude, but as other commenters have pointed out, most of these so called &quot;pc police&quot; are just trying to correct centuries of systemic racism, sexism, etc. by having a reasonable discussion.  If they are a bit shrill sometimes, just be thankful that they aren&#x27;t using the same tactics that were once used to keep them from speaking out.
