I think my biggest issue with PC is that it's so focused on symbols that it prevents progress. It goes after people for the words,and imo that creates a false sense of success. If not being racist is avoiding obvious actions and words, then so long as I hire a few token blacks and don't call them niggers , I'm good. I'm not racist, and thus I don't have to do anything else.
And at the same time it divides people by making talking dangerous. If I say the wrong thing, I get harassed, even if I make a bad choice of words. If I say fag, even if I don't mean it in the way you take it, Im not anything.
But what's worse, calling someone a fag, but treating him as a human being with dignity, or calling someone a gay and treating the person like dirt?
