orange - derogatory to chinese / east asians, ban it?
purple - um, can't think of one, purple is SAFE!!!

OK people, if you have anything that is black, white, red, yellow, orange or similar then you should destroy it as it might be PC 'unsafe'

I panic if I say "black man".
"****, should I have said coloured, dark, or nothing at all". PC creates problems.
Discretion and politeness is good. PC is very bad.

TV shows where there were 2 neighbours, one was called Honky and the other was called Golly. People could be happy with who they were and even have some light hearted fun.

The TV show you are referring to, Senior AP, was Love Thy Neighbour and the black guy in it was referred to it as 'nig-nog'. Do you think words like that acceptable?

By constantly drawing attention to, and making issues of, these sort of things it can be argued that the PC mob themselves are in fact the racists.

A Police force (the Met?) is no longer allowed to use the term "flip chart" because it may offend Phillipinos. A Phillipino girl at work thinks that is utterly crazy.
In Canada, "red indian" is a no no. Use "first nations" or "native Canadian".
In the US, a goverment official was fired (but later reinstated when sense prevaled) because he used the word "niggardly".
Fecking crazy. Or should that be intercourse sanity challenged?

I noticed all the PC lobby are really doing is removing single words descriptions and replacing them with a number of words that are meaningless to say the least. I reckon they had an english teacher at school who used to insist on 20,000 word essays.

His complaint was that the hymn was 'heretical' in that it put the love of one's country above the love of God.
Yet another misunderstood news story for the 'PC Conspiracy Theorist' brigade to jump on again eh?

Not saying I agree with any of it (far from it infact and I'll still say what I want and how I feel where ever I am as long as I know in myself what ever it is that Im saying is not offensive)
Great believer in you can say anything u want unless its given in a context of offence pointed at some1 else....
