At my defense company I got into a discussion with a black, former soldier who had served in Kuwait. He said that we had no right to disrespect the Arabic culture for female circumcision, stoning and the like because of diversity. I asserted that these practices were not civilized. I never raised my voice or cursed, I simply used logic.

Later the manager of HR came and sat down in my cubical, something that had never happened before. He quietly said that I had been reported for (I don’t recall the exact phrase) politically incorrect thoughts and actions. He suggested that I never speak to the black technician again; advice I took to heart.

What struck me was how deadly serious the HR manager was. He clearly thought I had done something dangerous that, if it continued, he would be forced to address.

I’m curious... when did this happen? Recently, or in pre-Obama days?

And, Maybe he thought talking to this privileged black technician was in itself dangerous because said person was more than a little nuts, but in a difficult to remove favored group.

(I don’t recall the exact phrase)

I'm guessing it contained the word "inappropriate", something the HR people love to use. It is a liberal dream word, because they can define it to mean anything which they means it to mean.
