Let's just say that people can choose to be politically correct if they want to or not, and this does happen in the U.S. today. When people aren't politically correct some people may find it offensive, and though people should respect others, they shouldn't expect everyone to agree with each other (this is human nature). Some political correctness is okay if you don't want to treat other humans like non-humans, but often people are forced to be politically correct, which is the main problem that the starter of this topic is trying to get to.
