I believe zakhal is rightfully pointing out that the actual issue in this thread was lost within 4 posts in favor of flogging people over their (admittedly inflamatory) choice of words. I'm pretty sure that's the definition of "political correctness", which was zakhal's point. And as for all of you waving "disingenuous" like it's the word of the day and needs to be used in a sentence 10 times in order to earn your cookie, I find it laughable that the word was drug out by some of the board's masters of the disingenuous comment.
@dte, you're uncharacteristically off-base with this one.
By "political correctness" I understand something like this:
"You shouldn't be allowed to state P because it might offend some individual X."
Nobody on this thread, as far as I can tell, has made this argument, or anything approaching it.
What's more, I for one am vehemently opposed to this argument -- I do not believe that any proposition P should be disallowed simply because it might offend some individual X, and I greatly resent it when people accuse me of holding that belief.
