Well, perhaps it's because we are emerging from a patriarchal society dominated by white men. Minorities and women were unable to partake in any meaningful or equivalent way until extremely recently.
The natural inclination is to push as hard as one can in the opposite direction of oppression - possibly too hard to the point that no one can even acknowledge the race of another person. But, in the end, one must realize that such a culture of "political correctness" exists because of a status quo that created the problem in the first place. If there weren't that institutionalized bigotry against which progressives fight (be it minorities, women, now homosexuals), there would be no need for over-the-top "thin skinned" behavior.
Liberals have too thin of skin. They are always the victims... Always playing the race card. Look at Roland Burris!!! No one could touch him because he was a little, soft spoken black man who perpetually lost elections in Illinois. What if a guy who looked like Mitt Romney was Blagjevich's Senate appointee??? He would have been chopped and screwed...
Anyone who would have staunchly opposed this 'tool' of an appointee would have been politically lynched. Especially if the person was a white male!
And tell me why it's such an offensive thing to not be a complete neanderthal & have total lack of class when talking about certain groups of people? I'm guessing that maybe you are an individual who has absolutely no concern for others & probably little social skills, I can't see any reason why it would be such a hardship to have some tact.
Quick! Put on a thick jacket to protect your thin skin!
Athiest, tofu eating, coffee house nuts like yourself don't know what class is.
well depends on who you talk to, according to the hard right the obligation of the rest of us is to shut up and obey, this applies especially to the many lectures for the last 8 years on respecting the office, lookatem now.
So it seems to me that what you're really pissed about is maybe you tried to apply for a job & were turned down because you weren't qualified? Can you trace political correctness to liberals?

I like how you criticized the original poster for tactlessly criticizing others, by tactlessly personally attacking him
