text: has political correctness gone too far? the answer is obviously yes but i need some examples of it please :d 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.  so we have a situation where  sex discrimination is ok for women against men race discrimination is ok for blacks against whites religious discrimination is ok for muslims against jews and christians  it has become just a game of semantics.  you 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.
