I would find this mildly amusing, except that it reflects the guttural response of Donald Trump's tirade on the same subject, and I cannot divorce his bigotry and myopic hatreds from tagging along with the "joke". Screw the Self-Centereds and their whining.

So because a moron hamfistedly voiced sentiments similar that then invalidates the whole position?

It's not self centred to value equality of opportunity over equality of outcome. In fact I would argue the exact opposite.

I think it not only illiberal to enforce "correct speech", but more importantly regressive.

i.e. I think the very progress the PC police are so desperate to create and defend, is a demonstrable product of the free flow of ideas and perspectives.

Anything which limits ones ability to think I believe could be considered regressive in such terms. This includes exploring "problematic" ideas and language.

I wont insult you by listing various ideas which were once suppressed, either culturally or legally. But the sheer length of it drives much of my conviction.

To put all of that into simpler terms; this film, to me, was much more about the dangers of group think than any one petty issue about the right word.

It's about what happens when critical thought is suspended, suppressed or demonised.

I'm not sure Donald Trump has ever had a critical thought in his life.

Promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued Saturday, December 12th, 2015 6:46am PST - promote requested by Chairman_woo.

Yeah that was quite bad.. I am not a big fan of beeing overly political correct but this looks like a first year student film to me. Very badly written.

Hey, since we're no longer being PC (or as normal people call it "not being an asshole"), I can say that this video is fucking retarded. Yay!

Without doubt, there are people who have taken "PC" to an illogical extreme, but they are in a tiny minority compared to the vast hordes of Daily Mail reading fucktards that complain about some made up nonsense that is "PC gone mad".

Hey, look on the bright side - if this right-wing diversion-tactic bullshit is actually true, then coming generations will be polite and sensitive idiots... I'll be able to outsmart and push them around even when I'm 80!

Moving this video to enoch's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.
