[QUOTE="Cirrus, post: 179425, member: 10493"] I wouldn't classify "political correctness" as a whole as "insane and disgusting". The attempt of political correctness is to recognize that the meaning we associate to words changes over time as our own cultural understanding of each other changes over time. Some of political correctness is good (eliminating the N-word) while others are far out there (did you know that you're a racist unless you're "actively anti-racist" 24 hours of the day (n)... meaning any time you overhear a remark that could have racial connotation that you must speak up even if it isn't any of your business?). There is nothing really "disgusting" about it. It's all just words. Sure, the opposition to political correctness is also "it's all just words" and "words can't hurt". But, unfortunately, words do sometimes hurt even if such hurt was unintended. Some people really do care if it's a toh-MAY-toh or a toh-MAH-toh. Granted, in the video clip Trudeau should not have cut that young girl (is it okay to call her a "young girl"?) off when she said "mankind". If he wanted to make a statement, let her finish and then espouse his thoughts on the word "mankind". Doing it in the way Trudeau did it was rude at the very least and also not really listening to what she had to say. [/QUOTE]
