More on Political Correctness

As I wrote here on Political Correctness. I define PC differently: Acting with courtesy and respect toward others.

OK, so the reader who sent me this is a boor.  My wife and I were talking about my earlier post, and she asked, “How do we change people like this?” to which I replied, “We don’t.  If we can’t get used to the fact that you’re surrounded by people like this, we’re going to have uncomfortable lives.”

Another point I would make about the meme here, and the reader may be too young to remember this, but Andy Griffith (the TV sheriff, not the actor) was one of the most refined and decent characters ever to grace American television screens in the 1960s.  He would no more have said something like this than he’d call To Kill a Mockingbird protagonist Atticus Finch a “n*****-lover.”
