text: The problem with political correctness is that, while it started out with the idea of getting rid of prejudice and discrimination, it has developed in such a way as to validate these forms of behaviour, and it is just a matter of argument about who is allowed to do it to who. As an example. In a discussion on TV between a man and a woman, the woman dismissed the man's point by saying 'That is just a white middle class male's view' as though that statement alone was enough to refute the argument. In one phrase she managed to be racist, sexist and classist, yet nobody even blinked.\n\nSo we have a situation where\n\nSex discrimination is OK for women against men\nRace discrimination is OK for blacks against whites\nReligious discrimination is OK for Muslims against Jews and Christians\n\nIt has become just a game of semantics.\n\nYou must not say disabled, you must say differently abled, but that begs the question ' different from what' the obvious answer is different from normal - just as demeaning.
