First it was Guy Gibson's dog, whose name had to be censored[img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]
Then, this morning, I was looking at an adaptation of that famous old tale, "Tom Sawyer", and the character "Injun Joe" is now known as "Crazy Joe"[img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]
WTF is this world coming to???

Did you ever hear of a film called "White Men Can't Jump"? That title is deeply offensive to people such as myself, living in an ethnic minority white community, in Leicester. For one thing, white men can jump, but more importantly, I object to being called "white", just as an African American would object to being referred to as "black". I am a European Pallid Caucasian Briton of Anglo Saxon Origin with Nordic Traces.

I'm with you on that one Dave.

Is it just the UK that's lost the plot with this PC thing? :confused:

No, all the world follows this nonsense. And on top of it rich people have learned how to evade taxes and villains how to present themselves as victims.

I feel so lonely as an intelligent, reasonable, hard working, citizen without ancestors that have migrated:(

If we weren't so far up the US's backside, half of this wouldn't have happened. But like most things, where the US blunders blindly, we bounce along afterwards like an excited puppy. :rolleyes:

I'm sure if the US turned round and declared orange was green, it wouldn't be that long before we were in agreement...

Mice_elf - that wouldn't go down well in one half of Glasgow ;):D

Ach, the Scots do their own thing anyway - they're not afraid to tell someone to fook off. :D
