I'll never understand why so many many Americans think it's Ok to use words that are offensive to others, by shrugging it off by say "we don't really mean anything bad by saying it."

Because well-adjusted Americans understand that political correctness is one of the nagging issues of our Emprire?

"Hello [censored], I mean hello negro, I mean hello colored, I mean hello African-American, I mean hello economically disadvantaged individual -- would you rather I placate you or tell it like it is??"

Treating racism as if it can be solved through measured words is absolutely ridiculous.

You are white and I am black. We are equal but we are different, the environment in which we were raised is likely to be different. I can tip-toe around that fact or I can treat you like a sentient being and address you based on the premise that you understand these differences as well.

not calling someone n*gger is hardly an issue of being overly pc and it's ridiculous to suggest such. can i treat you like a sentient being and operate on the premise that you understand the difference b/t when someone saying "that black guy did such and such" vs. "that n*gger did such and such"?
