Ten, re: You're right, Mary. Only after people started calling us "Asian-Americans" instead of "orientals" did we really make real achievements. When they stopped calling African American's "niggers", or when they stopped calling Asian American's "chinks", it probably did allow progress. Political correctness cuts both ways. It's not politically correct to say you favor peace right now, in fact you would probably get a harder time for that than calling African Americans "niggers" (depending on the audience). John

Tenuchusatsu, <<<Boy, I can go on and on!>>> I don't think so. So far you haven't given one example where the Political Correctness Agenda has caused harm. When I posed the same challenge to Jozef Halada, he came up with this lame consequence: <<<1. You can't tell jokes in this country anymore, officially forbidden by laws, rules, offenders to be punished by loss of jobs, expelled from schools, stripped of academic tenure etc. In years of Communist oppression, there was one thing that sustained the silent resistance of the population to the mass indoctrination, and it was telling of jokes. To the credit of Communists, they did not officially the laws banning jokes, like the Storm Troopers of Political Correctness.>>> Yeah, we are worse than the commies. PC vigilantes are violating the rights of people with a sense of humor. They are losing jobs left and right. Sheesh. Gimme a break. Mary
