Is Political Correctness a one way street?
Why is it that it's OK to make fun of one group but not others? For example, red neck jokes are OK. But, "You might be a homo if..." jokes are not. Depicting white males as total idiots on TV comercials is OK but it's not OK to do the same with black males.
Anyway, I noticed all of the options now available. I can add pictures, format text, use real emoticons (instead of my signature ;) and more. Right now, though, I want to try the add picture feature (which has no relevance to the debate at hand but what the heck). You can still repsond to the debate.
I'm completely and totally and utterly agains political correctness. It's unconstitutional, and feeds into this weird idea that some words or parts of the human body are somehow evil. When infact words are just words, that we made up by the way. And the human body is just that. It's all whatever you make of it. That said though, there's a huge difference between things like "you might be a redneck" jokes, and gay or black jokes, because no one is going to form a lynch mob and hang white people (least not historically) and no one is going to hear one of these redneck jokes, and incorrectly believe, through nothing but their own retardedness (politically incorrect) that the jokes are based in some truth, or that this group of people is somehow less a contributor to society, or that any individual can be fairly judged as part of any group. Was that hard to read? er, whatever. I'm saying in most cases political corectness is absurd, but it serves a purpose for now. Side: political correctness
Hahahahahahahaha! This debate is like the foundation for half of the debates on this website don't cha know! ;) The reason for this is because white people feel guilty for the past when it was only ok to make fun of Homosexuals and Black people so they suck up with the ridicule for now, but in time it will all be equal. And if you watch MadTV they make fun of black people a lot. (Especially during Rocket Avengers skits) (; Also, why do a lot of anime girls tend to have big breasts? I mean it is stereotypically incorrect for an asian girl to have large breasts, so are cartoonists of asia trying to tell their women something? (; Side: MadTV is Equal
political correctness is more of just an attack on intelligence and creativity. Hell, we can't even do studies on why blacks are better athletes because it's considered offensive. Pretty soon we won't be able to do movies where a Kung-Fu master is this Chinese guy. Spike TV will be shut down for being sexist and racist. Comedy Central will be shut down for being sexist and racist. All source of News will be controlled by the government in order to ensure that nothing that's reported will be considered offensive towards a certain group. And those who support Nazism can no longer be considered evil, only as people with different political beliefs. But, it does serve it's purpose. Offensive jokes wouldn't be as funny if they weren't offensive. When they lose their offense, we just try to find other ways of being funny (like making fun of someone who recently died). As long as the blacks and feminazis continue to get upset w/e Raneesha from Reno 9/11 talks about her baby daddies, i think those other jokes stay in the under ground (Caylee and Virginia Tech). None the less, I tell all kinds of jokes because i really don't give a fuck what those Ultra left pussies think. I love pissing them off. Side: Attack on Intellect

There's been a storm in a teacup brewing for years about the Pledge of Allegiance including the words "under God" but this is the first time I've ever seen someone write that it's a Pledge that is Politically Incorrect or Politically Correct for that matter! I don't quite understand why you'd be forced to say it at all or scream the portion that contains the words "under God." Side: cartoon boobies
I think it sort of it. Especially with race, minority group can usually judge and stereotype as much as they like, but white people are "racist" for the silliest things. Jokes are very touchy- white people cannot make racial jokes, unless they are about some subset of their own race. Side: Yes it is
