The vast majority of people hate political correctness...so why are we bending to it?

88% of American Indians
87% of Hispanics
82% of Asians
79% of White People
75% of Black People

...are saying PC behavior is a problem.

Whites are ever so slightly less likely than average to believe that political correctness is a problem in the country: 79 percent of them share this sentiment. Instead, it is Asians (82 percent), Hispanics (87percent), and American Indians (88 percent) who are most likely to oppose political correctness.

The one part of the standard narrative that the data partially affirm is that African Americans are most likely to support political correctness. But the difference between them and other groups is much smaller than generally supposed: Three quarters of African Americans oppose political correctness. This means that they are only four percentage points less likely than whites, and only five percentage points less likely than the average, to believe that political correctness is a problem.

Because they have a huge machine in their arsenal. The complicit media. Look at cnn...every male anchor is effininate or gay. Peter Pan leads the charge at msnpc. It’s cowtowing to special interests even though those special interests don’t have the common person’s interests in mind. Turn off your tv’s man.

Makes no sense to me either. It's part of the reason they lost the election yet they just keep trucking.

Politically correct behavior helps civilize the world, regardless of what some poll says.

Because despite being a minority, they're bullies too few people stand up to. More people need to push back and tell them to go f*** themselves. The ones that don't apologize and ignore these special interest groups are usually the ones that don't get fired and these a-holes usually go away.

You can't give them an inch. Once you do, then they want more. It's like when Imus apologized. After that, it wasn't enough. Then, Al Sharpton and his jack booted thugs then wanted him fired. Dr. Laura lost her job just for asking the question of if the N word is so bad, then why do black people throw it around, especially in music, like it's no big deal. Next thing you know, she's fired. While I'm not a fan of hers, I do agree with this quote "It used to be when someone disagreed with you, they would debate you. Now, they try to silence you." Yeah and apparently try to cost you your job as well.

Unless it's something difficult to defend, like crazy Roseanne, with not only has last comment, but previously posted a pic of her dressed like Hitler with burnt gingerbread cookies that she said were burnt Jews, then otherwise it should fall under free speech. Because that kind of stuff WILL cost a company advertisers.

Every thinks PC is a problem til it’s something that bothers them...

Just like everyone thinks the Government is too big/wrong/bad etc....Until it’s something they want.

It’s human nature.
