While she might not mean it to be offensive, it is because it's being used as a synonym for "stupid" or "dumb". So does that lead to gays being stupid and dumb? That's why I don't like it. I could understand the use of the word "queer" because it's definition is "that which differs from normal", but "gay" means "happy" and is a colloquial term for "someone of a homosexual nature".



I think what really ticks me off about people saying "Indian" instead of "Native American" is that it's geographically incorrect. Not so much the political side, but the fact that Columbus screwed up and the name stuck.

I understand your point of view, but I disagree. Over the years words have sometimes meant other things than their 'official' definition. Especially slang.

That sucks.
That's crappy.

Both of those words supposedly mean different things than 'bad' but that's usually how they're portrayed now.

Besides this, I'm not entirely sure why it doesn't bother me. It just doesn't. Words are words. I try not to look into what people say so much.

Uh, the economy has crashed. Political correctness? Not even close. It's called "keeping up with the Jones'" and "credit". That's what caused our recession.

And really greedy higher ups.

But I don't think anyone has ever blamed the economy, war, whatever on political correctness.

Alot of things are not political correct.
