No, it doesn't take a genuis to figure out what would happen. The "K" people would look alarmed, then shuffle away quickly to their professional jobs, where they would get on with the business of the day. The "N" people would immediately riot, beating up every innocent person in their path, and then end up in jail.
And it even more commonly tags along with stupidity.

I'll bet I could go down town and call 100 Jewish men the K word and not much would come of it. I think I would have a real hard time trying to get one of them to beat me up.
I'll bet if I went down town and called 100 black men the N word I would stand a real good chance of getting beaten up. I don't think I would get beaten up by the majority of the black men but I'd be willing to bet a fairly hefty sum of money that I'd be beaten up. Probably more than once. I'm just sayin'.
I think it is you who need to get into the real world. Just because you have'nt heard does not make it so. Who named you the expert on PC. Because you don't agree with someone is no reason to make insulting remarks like some little kid. Grow up.
90% of the "We're all being persecuted by PC" stuff is made up or wildly exaggerated bull****, cooked up in a talk-radio studio and which people come to actually believe after hearing it repeated enough. That's reality.
There are some unjustified ideological taboos in our society, but calling people blind, deaf or short is not one of them.

I agree that there is nothing weak about being respectful and considerate to others, especially if they hold different viewpoints than you do. You might want to take another look at your responses to my posts and tell me whether those are good examples of showing "respect" and "consideration."

At times, instead of labeling someone something, they just need to hear it like it is. I would assume that people would be smart enough to know the difference, but SOME people have bit off on this PC crap so bad they see, hear and do NOTHING (except make excuses) until it's too late because they are afraid they are going to offend someone or be seen a certain way.
PC running amok is not dealing with issues for fear of hurting people's feelings. It is not addressing or sugarcoating cultural flaws that limit progress.

I'll tell you what. Why don't you just run right out and try your little experiment and let us know how it works.
I do understand where the need to be Politically Correct may come in. BUT at the same time, it is also important to LIMIT it.
I think it is there because some people want to take it too far and call all Muslim terrorists or call all Latino people illegal immigrants.
But at the same time, if a Muslim terrorists does a terrorist attack, I do not see the harm in letting people know it was a Muslim who did it. I am not ashamed of letting people know it was a Muslim who blew this up or did that or this. Just like I am not afraid of saying African American communities are most crime ridden. Those are FACTS. Cannot be disputed. But when people go out of line to just give a Muslim a hard time who is simply here and living their life, that is wrong.
You get my drift?
I certainly do get your drigft!
