Ok, what the heck do some of you all mean by being PC or unPC? Excuse my ignorance, but I always thought being PC is not stating the truth, such as violent crime tends to be higher in low income black neighborhoods, or that school shooters tend to be white. Referring to someone as a n*gger is not unPC. It's insulting and demeaning! Too say that it's unPC to use racial slurs, or insults in general, insinuates that there is truth to the statements. Are some of you implying that Dog's son's girlfriend is a n*gger? What am I missing here?
Are you equating "inappropriateness" with "racism"? Keep in mind that the former is an annoyance, while the latter is a career-ender -- if you have the wrong complexion.
Yes. Racism is inappropriate as is treating women like chattel. It is small minded and shows a lot about someone's character.
It seems like hardly a day passes when someone in the public eye says something that is not politically correct. Then they are forced to say they are sorry and everyone gets all worked up and angry. Just once I wish someone would be able to get away with saying something that is not PC but they truly believe and everyone knows it is true.
Has the PC thing gone to far?
Speaking the "truth" is based on your opinion of the truth. If a dimwit celebrity makes a racist slur or something alike, then it is their choice wether to apologize or not. IMO they should stick with whatever it was they had said and live with the consequences, rather than backtracking later (which they of course do when they realise how stupid they have been!).

I think that "PC" has come to signify for some a liberal, progressive agenda. So they use it in the context of "Hey, call me a ***, for example. I can take it!" Why shouldn't I have the freedom to openly insult other groups of people... the way my parents and grandparents did. What is wrong with this country?" "Freedom of Speech is what it is all about!"
So all of a sudden it becomes more of a defense of the civil rights of trash like Duane (oops, sorry, "Dog" ) than discussing the original fact he repeatedly used a disgusting racial slur to talk about his own family. As if the fact it was a private phone call somehow makes the slurs "ok".
To those who keep making the lame a#sed excuse that it shouldn't be a problem because black people use it all the time, NEWS ALERT black people don't use it either, Ni##ers that just happen to be black do, as do white people who happen to be Ni##ers.
