I also don't like pc as it implies that we are sub-divided into groups, categories, that one group is different to another so you cannot say certain things to them, which, in my point of view is a type of prejudism anyway. I also hate the way that it often only works one way e.g. the rumour that rascism towards white people doesn't excist. I hate the way that the country I love's tradition and heritage is being wiped out, not by immagrants who generally except it, but by it's own country men's fear to offend those very same immagrants.
Phew. Rant over.
Alteratively, read the second paragraph of this passage:
I think the arguement about positive discrimination is relevant aswell - the fact that some companies have a guaranteed interview policy for disabled applicants. Having a disability has no affect on whether or not you can do the job. Personally I am not disabled but I'd definately feel and that my application had not been taken seriously, but that I had just been given an interview for political correctness. From the employers point of view, would they feel that they had to meet with or employ a disabled person, regardless of their suitability for the job, for fear of being told they were discriminating?? I'd much rather have earned my job rather than felt pitied.
The world has gone P.C. mad!!
