I'm not being facetious.

You ARE being facetious, using a super-narrow definition of the term "force" to mis-state the issue.

I never said political correctness stops me. It doesn't. I still object to (getting back to the original topic) changing the names of things, actions, ethnic groups, whatever for the sake of getting the political upperhand and then demanding that others go along.

You said, "People have a right to call themselves whatever they want." That's both true and irrelevant. They do have that right. The rest of us have an equal right to not care.

Okay whatever but I was responding to another poster talking about what other people call themselves. I'm not being facetious. I don't get how people calling themselves african-american or native-american is getting a political upperhand.
