Where does he say that what you do or think is offensive?

I think you need to take a course in Logic; or maybe English isn't your native tongue.

I still make mistakes, but with good intentions I never feel like I have to worry.

Wow.

Truly dumber then advertised.

He thinks that by making himself oatmeal he will offend no one and be safe from the SJW.

He does not understand that good intentions will not protect him. His very existence is an offense and unless he somehow manages to become the "minority of the week" something that he says, does, wears or even his expression will be used to beat him into a pulp.

And even if he becomes a "minority" he is still going to have to deal with the "more victimized then thou" SJW.

The scale keeps changing.

Who would have thought that a black woman immigrant from a third world county would be attacked because she does not believe women should be forced to have bits of their private parts carved off? Yet it is so.

Perversion has become prudent. Black is white and white is black. We have slipped into Bizarre world (or Sodom and Gomorrah.

These little sh*ts are more than ready to throw us all on the bonfire. Anybody who misses that is missing the point.

“Kevin Hart decided in those years to exclude gay people from his audience”

No. If true, gays stayed away because they closed their minds.

This is an extreme example - the problem is that PC excludes the true genius that built the West: Plato, Augustine, Chesterton, Jefferson, Teresa of Avila, Locke... dozens.

That stupid liberal know-nothing obviously likes to be led around by his nose ring.

“I don’t want people to monitor their language to fit within a societal rule book.”

Um, yes he does. This is one confused young man. Wonder if he lacked a full-time dad...

It’s one thing to be tactful, non-confrontational or even politically correct. It’s quite another to be scorned, ridiculed and even fired for not being pc.

I said plenty of offensive things.

Well, too bad for you, kid. If you ever cross the wrong person, every last one of those "offensive things" will make its way onto social media, and you will never, ever get a job in the "woke" universe you're helping to create.

Why is it always whitey that has to understand? Do minorities have any obligations in so called ‘race relations’?

When he said politically correct means being non-nontroversial and non-offensive, I quit reading. Anything can be defended with sufficient dishonesty.

He chooses to be politically correct because he’s afraid his ultra-PC university will expel him for being anything else.

Political correctness is tyranny with manners.

This is a student at Duke University which supposedly only accepts the brightest student.

Nah. A celtic-wasp friend of our family went there with her blue-eyed blond son, who had applied, and were escorted around campus by a (middle eastern heritage) sophomore who gleefully shared his SATs, which were more than 100 points lower than those of the blond visitor from the top of his class—who a few weeks later was turned down for admission. Too American.
