Agree with YMB.

Why is it classed as being “PC” when it reality PC represents certain lost social standards and morals

[Old_Geezer]

Hardly lost. Never before has there been such a movement towards seeking out offence where none exists and having a go at the decent folk who have said or done something inoffensive. Folk can be made to feel they can't speak out about anything without getting flak.

Yep, this PC stuff is getting silly now.

I'm small, blonde, from Essex and half Irish, if I got offended every time I heard these comments, jokes I wpuld spend my life 'upset'.

Probably could of made a fortune from all my 'hurt feelings' LOL!

Since my thread on the same subject has just been removed I feel that I must reply to gromit's post when he stated this has nothing to do with ethnic minorities, only poverty.

/// The rate of obesity almost doubles among black children – 29.9 per cent of black Caribbean children and 29.8 per cent of black African children are obese by the age of 11. As many as 26.4 per cent of Pakistani children are obese when they leave primary school as are 28.4 per cent of Bangladeshi children. ///

Yes it is hard for some to be faced with facts, much easier to bury their heads in the sand and pretend such things don't happen.
