Do you hate the fact that everything is so damned politically correct nowadays? You cant say anything anymore without offending someone.

I mean, it's getting to the point of:
"Would you like Chocolate Cake or Vanilla?"
"I'll have Vanilla"
"You RACIST PIECE OF SCUM!"

Thoughts?

Yeah, what's next? We can't wish anyone "happy holidays" because some people would be offended because they don't celebrate anything (religious or otherwise) at that time of year?

Another example... say my friend wants to wear a t-shirt with the swastika on it. Luck, Light, Love and Life is what the ORIGINAL swastika represented before the Nazis fscked it up. He was saying that if he wore a tshirt, he'd probably get murdered on the assumption that he was a nazi. (This was all hypothetical in discussion. He isnt going to wear a swastika tshirt, nor owns one)

Is someone's dislike for another race really enough for you to turn your back on a friend if you find out they're racist? If so, I wouldn't call that person a friend to begin with --either that or you're not really all that loyal of a friend.

The only actual example you've provided so far is that your friend can't wear a swastika shirt. Seems like common sense to me. Where is the political correctness run amok?
