That sucks.
The reactions to Bill Cosby's speech at the NAACP event were IMO pretty silly too. If Bill Cosby was white and said the same things, he'd probably be dead right now.
See this is what I mean. That had nothing to do with "PC". He said something that some people didn't like, end of story. It's happened since the beginning of language and it will never end.
As for your second point, maybe American TV is different, but I'll tell you about a show here in Britain called Mind Your Language. It was about about a bunch of foreigners in language school, and the things they got away with would cause an uproar if it aired today. It played on every stereotype, and to me was absolutely hilarious. Only Fools and Horses had an episode where they tried to sell Helmets to Indians with turbans. When the BBC did a special on comedies, quite a few famous people stated the worst thing to happen to comedy was extreme PC of the 90s.
Yeah because they want to go for the easy laughs. There are still tons of racial jokes being told, watch Rush Hour, or BET, or any comedian in America. Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle, whoever. Eddie Murphy could do his standup now exactly like he did it then, of course now it would get more attention because gay people actually have rights here now as oppossed to then so they'd more than likely speak up, but he can still say it. Delirious was NEVER aired on Network Television, not in it's uncut form anyway. HBO still has shows every bit as risque. But I guess that since they show interracial gay love scenes now without anyone being called a "faggot", that's PC. Let alone all of the ass raping on OZ. Anybody can say whatever they want, but don't bitch up when someone has a reaction to it and hide behind this "PC" stuff. Sometimes things really are hypersensitive, but this stupid term is thrown around way too much. Half of the time what's now called "politically Correct" used to be known as respect.
