[SirReginald]

Except among a tiny minority of far-left Americans, political correctness (P.C.) is deeply unpopular. Some 80 percent of people said they viewed P.C. excess as a problem

Political correctness is widely unpopular with Americans of all ages and races, a study finds

That's according to a fascinating surveyconducted by More in Common, an international research initiative. The researchers asked respondents dozens of questions about race, immigration, sexism, free speech, and other hot button issues, and then sorted them into seven different categories: progressive activists, traditional liberals, passive liberals, the apathetic, moderates, traditional conservatives, and devoted conservatives. The two conservative categories constituted 25 percent of the total; the progressives, just 8 percent.

Everyone else, according to the researchers, form an "exhausted majority" whose views are not so different from one another, even across racial and gender lines.

wrote The Atlantic's Yascha Mounk in a terrific write-up of the survey. "Among the general population, a full 80 percent believe that 'political correctness is a problem in our country.' Even young people are uncomfortable with it, including 74 percent ages 24 to 29, and 79 percent under age 24. On this particular issue, the woke are in a clear minority across all ages."

"Youth isn't a good proxy for support of political correctness—and it turns out race isn't, either," Mounk observes.

The best proxies are education level and income: the most highly educated Americans are more likely to think hate speech is a big problem, but political correctness is not.

nobody wants to step on eggshells about absolutely everything they say or do

 

[RoidJonesJr]

You have to take it on a case by case basis. A while back an ESPN Asian announcer was removed from a cast because his name was "Robert Lee" and I guess it reminded people of the Confederate general. That's an example of PC gone way too far.

Whenever I hear people complaining of PC I just assume they want to get away with saying racist/sexist/etc. shyt

It's a problem until they get their feelings hurt.

Word. Like how my parents still say the words, 'tranny' and 'fags' even though I tell them it's not PC. I try to be as PC as I can in these times.

 

[Ya' Cousin Cleon]

even if this is true

imagine being so fragile and sheltered that you may have to be mindful of others is considered a serious problem.

cacs gonna cac.

Translation: cacs don't like that they can't say and do what their grandparents were able to get away with.

Yeah, they aint foolin nobody.

Forcing people to be subtle about their opinions only leads to confusion. That's why all these confused negros are walking around with retarded opinions not understanding white supremacy

 

[AyBrehHam Linkin]

it's only not a problem when talking about shyt you believe in.


The same mfs bytching about people being PC over racial, homophobic or types of jokes bytch like a mf over sitting for the national anthem.

Pretty much. They complain about snowflakes on the left yet lose their shyt because Nike supports an athlete or some company refuses to celebrate Christmas.

It’s very easy to tell the other side to stop being sensitive until it’s your time to be mocked.

 

[I Really Mean It]

The agenda to normalize anti black hate continues apace. And dumb ass nikka nerds and goofy wenches trying to fit in are cosigning this. “Political Correctness” is a label applied to any point of view that rejects the attitudes and behaviors that constitute white supremacy.

alot of the PC shyt is overboard. im not talking the serious racist shyt. its to the point where comedians cant make fat jokes without backlash. there has to be someone gay or every race on the spectrum on every tv show or in every movie or theres backlash.

the outrage is only coming from a sensitive few and its effecting everybody.

this pc shyt is like them taking peanut butter off the shelf cus 1% of society has an allergy to it.
