106-9 Kicks Country #1 For New Country
Our oversensitive culture is now a snake eating its own tail.
According to the Inclusive Excellence Center at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, it’s no longer politically correct to use the term “politically correct.”
Why? They say it, quote, “has become a way to deflect, [and say] that people are being too ‘sensitive’ and police language.” They didn’t propose an alternative term to use instead.
They also say the word “lame” should be eliminated because it, quote, “reduces the experiences of individuals living with physical disabilities to a punch line.”
Other words and phrases they don’t like include “third world,” since it implies some countries are inferior . . . “crazy,” since it’s offensive to people with mental illness . . . and “man up,” since it’s sexist.
