I've known of too many cases in which the careers of good people were ruined by spurious, or quite deliberately bigoted, accusations of "hate speech" for failing to toe the PC line to consider Political Correctness merely one big merry joke, thank you.

Yes, I read that Philip Roth (http://inverarity.livejournal.com/94077.html) novel too.

If you aren't one of the folks screaming about "political correctness" when told that using derogatory names isn't cool, then you have no beef here.
