I recall a time when it was acceptable to use a racial epithet in public. If political correctness changed that, it did a good thing.

I recall when it was acceptable to rely or racial or gender-based stereotypes to make a point. If political correctness has changed that, it did a good thing.

If political correctness prevents us from recognizing differences between cultures and recognizing that some things from other cultures are inconsistent with our values, I have issues with it.

The reaction from the right, that any identification of racism is racism in itself, is ridiculous.

However, the apparent assertion on the left that all opposition to President Obama is based on his race makes it easier for the right to reject all claims of racism.

I do believe that those who are members of a minority race are capable of racism in their own right. Identifying behavior of the part of others that is racially biased is not, however, evidence of such racism.

Anyone who believes that racism does not exist in America should hop on his unicorn and take a ride to Fantasyland.
