Your assertion that, "We have standards for bias being determined solely by the victims of the bias, who may be oversensitive or have suboptimizing agendas", is a bunch of hooey that has no basis in fact or reality. I didn't realize you favored PC. It never occurred to me. There was an incident a while back where a student, annoyed with the noise a group of women, who happened to be black, were making while he was trying to study or sleep in the dorm, ran afoul of the PC police by calling them a herd of water buffalo. The women found that racist as did black advocates. I appreciate that there still exists bias against blacks, but don't you think that the standard for racism, if it includes something like that, is oversensitive?
