Obviously, you've never heard of Andrea Fay Friedman (go ahead... look her up on Wikipedia... I'll wait). This PC-sensitivity-training-cultural-awareness-non-offensive mantra is getting us nowhere... It certainly doesn't do the less-fortunate any favors, but instead, creates an atmosphere of victimization and self-depreciation. Then again, some of us need to feel like victims (i.e., those who are really, really sensitive to even a whif of slightly-offensive material). Those who are not coddled and tiptoed around typically wind up functioning on a much higher level. Also, give Josh Blue a lookup on the internet. You might be suprised to find that some people can "handle it."
