I agree that there have been some stumbles in that. I was just reading this morning in annoyance about the EU threating economic sanctions against Iran because their president is an anti-Semitic dipstick.

However, the scope of any discrimination (i object to the use of the word "oppression" unless we are talking about power stratification in society) caused by the quest for political correctness is a gnat compared to the elephant of that which it is intended to correct. In fact the disparity is so great i have come to think of this objection as one of the rationalizing-distractions which i mentioned in my original post.

It might feel "oppressive" to have to always watch one's tongue, but then, keep in mind that this is a very small amount of inconvenience asked of the privileged, compared to the large amount of inconvenience actually experienced by the oppressed. Someone might have to worry about watching their tongue so as not to offend me, while i am expected to entirely hide my identity, restructure my life, and submit to isolation and reduced consciousness, all sorts of blinkers and dampers on my life, to avoid offending them.
