Political Correctness Gone Mad/Quotes

So uh, I do think you're wrong about the validity of the quote. The thing is, it creates a strawman about Political Correctness which is theoretically gone mad, but doesn't exist in reality in anyway. No one is asking for a change to the name of Oklahoma or Washington. Every example on the page is something in real life or in-universe, but the quote is a political fiction.

What the quote does do is attempt to incite hatred between two different groups of people -- which, for now, I'm calling "me" and "you". And, as such, it's a violation of ATT:1WAY, play nice. Conflation of fighting racism with destruction of culture is not cool.

I concur. This is not a place for that sort of crap. There is a thin line here between adding a trope example and trying to import culture war drama, and it's falling a fair bit over into danger zone territory, way too much for my taste, so I agree we need to leave that out.

I concede that it's an act of neglect on my part.

Your willingness to handle this maturely is noted with gratitude. ^_^
