Bob, what I'm getting at is that political correctness has always been awkward for me. Those who know me know that I don't appreciate racial or sexist jokes, and will not use them around me. Most people I am close to are unlikely to do so anyway. Some things that I have had to be consciously sensitive to are things that come second nature to those in my sons' generation. What they experience is what I think political correctness should evolve into. Not a necessarily a need to accommodate differences as if they are a liability, but to accept differences just because they are there.
The comments on this thread have been great. Manners are an extremely important aspect of political correctness - all social interaction for that matter.
Regards,
D-Ray
