IMO, I think this whole Political correct shite has gone way too far. It's over sensitizing the world - people are far too 'prissy' about themselves - you can't say anything for fear of 'offending' some race, culture, gender, sex, minority.
LIGHTEN UP, LAUGH AT YOURSELF AND OTHERS. IT WILL NOT HURT!!!!
People are in way too much of a hurry to be hurt these days, purely because they can point a finger and get compensation for it!!!
In my 'younger' days, if someone takes the piss out of you, you either laugh, answer back with something witty, or ignore them. The last thing you do is put your hand up and say 'miss, they're making fun of me'... you'd have had the piss taken for life, no friends and probably have the crap kicked out of you for being such a whinge arse.
Life is full of prejudisms...and whilst they stay good humoured and non violent - GET OVER YOURSELF AND DEAL WITH IT!!!
Bull!
