Jim, <<<It all depends on what your definition of "politically correct" is.
PC is just a catch all phrase for the collection of certain agendas promoted by certain groups in order to gain some type of favor. Sometimes it's "catching up" but often it's an agenda of wanting special favors/money etc. and goes far beyond any leveling of the playing field.>>>
It's understandable that people are confused. It's all about fear. It's about leveling the playing field and losing home field advantage. It is understandable.
Level the playing field and the next thing you know, women will want the keys to the executive washroom and be pushing for the top job.
Let Asians into the classroom and pretty soon you will have to work real hard to get those A's in math and physics.
If you let them watch CNN, who knows what is next?
You have seen what has already happened in basketball and football.
Some will think that by obfuscating - maybe people will not notice and we can keep the status quo - its been that way and working fine, why shouldn't we keep it that way? That is the usual Fundamentalist view - even in places where they don't play football.
But do you know what? There is truth and justice. Trust me on that. Truth and justice will prevail. The good guys/gals will win. It is really not all that complicated.
As the old saying goes the race may not always go to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, but that is the way you bet .
For most people on this thread (and in the good old USA), there shouldn't be any worry. In any new world order, a person with a good head on his/her shoulders and just by showing up doing the right thing, he/she will do just fine.
However, (present company excepted) there are more than a few on this thread (and a lot more in this world), where if change occurs, and where if truth and justice shall prevail, have a lot to worry about <GGGGG>.
