Serious Discussion: Hatred And Political Correctness

I wholeheartedly agree. I feel that PC has gone too far. My school and social circles are full of it. Sometimes my Sociology teacher explains us a theory and basically adds in the end, “it is wrong because it is not politically correct.”

Same to my self-righteous Geography and History teacher. People here in Brazil recently took a university admittance test, and I have heard that its essay was graded not only based on the candidate’s language skills, but on their opinion as well—whoever expressed an opinion slightly different from the expected did not pass. In light of that, my History teacher did say he could not believe that people would even have a different opinion; that they COULD NOT have a different opinion.

I often do feel that I am being indoctrinated instead of educated.

I believe that people should be able to express any opinions that they have, but that’s quite unrealistic.

Also, there’s that concept of “cultural appropriation”… and that’s just soooo wrong… Hispanics, Blacks, Asians, etc., all over the world “appropriate” culture from Europe; Latin American countries, as I know well, have much of their culture imported from USA and Europe, and no one bats an eye. But when a white person from a first world country uses elements from other peoples’ culture, it is wrong?

Japanese: Oh yeah wear that Kimono! You will look so cute, need help getting it on properly?

Non-Japanese: So like, go die if you wear it or want to.

Indian: We would LOVE to share our culture! Feel free to do all of this!

Non-Indian: so like..... appropriation much???????

Also:

>Lady is hitting the man repeatably, nobody does anything to help either.

>THAT HED BLOW CUD HAVE KILLED HER!!!111!"

>HE SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN SOMEONE TO HELP HIM!!!1111

>As said by someone who watched and did nothing to help either.

And people say women have it awful.

Do you think being PC is a good thing?

Yes. Nobody should be offended.

No. It's stupid and we can say whatever we want.

Yes, to an extent. It's been taken too far.
