Re: Does the world expect people to be *TOO* PC
Yeah, it's good to be sensitive of other people's feelings but at the same time you can't be afraid to speak your mind or compromise what you think it's true to you.
But the world is becoming Too pc.

Re: Does the world expect people to be *TOO* PC
Yep! There are times to be PC (at work in an important meeting etc) but people have to learn to let things roll off their back and not take everything so seriously!
ETA: being too PC is creating a bunch of cry babies that have to yell and scream about every little thing!

Re: Does the world expect people to be *TOO* PC
I think so- I am all for sensitivity but sometimes it's too much. Like, don't refer to me as Caucasian. I've never been to Caucasia. White is fine.

completely agree.
Absolutly.
I worked in a large company many many years ago and I had said Merry Christmas to someone not knowing he is Jewish. I honestly had no clue and he got incredably mad and insulted that I wished him a merry christmas. I dont celebrate Kwanza but if someone said to me Happy Kwanza I'd just smile.
I agree some people just need to learn to let things roll off their back. Some people just take things too seriously.

I don't even say "Merry Christmas" or anything like that to co-workers- I work with such a diverse group of people, some celebrate Kwanzaa, one is Muslim but does not wear traditional Muslim attire and I forget how I found out that he is Muslim, etc. Now I just say, "Have a nice vacation!" Some would not care, some would be offended.

Re: Does the world expect people to be *TOO* PC
Yes and no. I think that there are some things that people do need to be more sensitive about, but other's that people just get too sensitive about.
Does that make sense?
For example, my friend got screamed at once for saying "God Bless You" to an athiest with a cold. That, I thought, was a bit extreme...
On the other hand, I don't like when someone calls someone else a retard or something like that.
Sorry if that doesn't make sense, i think i'm confusing myself.

Re: Does the world expect people to be *TOO* PC
I think as adults there is a fine line between being PC and being rude. It's our responsibility to figure out where that line lays and stay on the right side of it.
You can make some of the people happy some of the time but you'll never make all of the people happy all of the time.
Treat people the way you want to be treated.
