A few months ago in my country they made all the Santa Claus’s at the malls say “Ha ha ha” because “Ho ho ho” might be offensive to prostitutes.
The poem “Ba ba black sheep” has also been changed to “Ba ba rainbow sheep” because it’s apparently racist.
They’re not “fairy penguins” anymore, that’s homophobic. They’re “little penguins”.
You cannot use the expression “That’s gay”
You cannot use the expression “That’s retarded”
The scientific term “midget”, used to refer to people of stunted growth who are still mentally stable, is now offensive.
Protesting about scams like Scientology (trademark) will get you called a “hater” or “hate group. Even though Scientology is obviously a freaking corporation, not a religion, but is posing as a religion so they are untouchable by critisisms to their bullshit practices.
“Nigger” is the n-word but “cracker” isn’t a swear word.
Sexual harassment can be bullshit sometimes too. I’m not trying to defend sexual assault, but apparently just asking someone to go out with you can be sexual harassment, as can asking someone to have sex with you or reminding someone sex exists in general.
If you say something is not normal or that something is uncommon, it automatically means you are saying it’s wrong or evil.
Statistics can be racist too. Like showing statistics that Blacks on average have lower IQ’s than Whites or Asians, even if you point out it doesn’t apply to all the people in the race, you are being racist anyway.
Saying men are on average physically stronger than women is also sexist. Even though it’s blatantly obvious.
So yeah... it’s all bullshit.

That’s BS. Where do you live?
I’m gonna do all of the above, in a Santa suit.
And I’ll be right there with you, dressed up as a lizard.

Yeah, butchering the English language can do that to a person.
I think we should butcher English, to an extent... the letters C, Q and X are a waste of space in the alphabet, the spelling is terribly unphonetic and there aren’t enough rhymes.

What country would you move to?
Not sure yet. So far I’ve been thinking about Switzerland (where my family comes from), Australia, New Zealand, and the UK.
I find it kinda funny you’re considering moving because of political correctness. Sure, I think it’s out of hand but what about it do you consider dangerous enough that it should encourage you to move to another nation?
Haha, it’s not just the political correctness that makes me want to move out. It’s the bullshit that I see everyday because of this country. Don’t have time to talk about the bullshit now though, gotta go to school.

Switzerland is a great country. since you automatically join the military reserves you get a full auto assault rifle free, so there’s no crime rate... And it’s one of the few nations where you can own firearms. FUCK YEAH!!!
