"What are some concrete examples of "PC culture" run amok?"


  

          

I mean outside of the usual suspects saying "PC culture is ruining America" and meaning "I can't say what I used to say or say hateful things out loud...." I want to really understand what people mean when they say "PC Culture"

some folks legit see it as a big threat which is a-kind-of-totally-fucked-up-way-to-see-the-world.

                     Why can't the atheist just, you know, opt out of the prayer?
Dec 15th 2016
99
                          it's not just about atheists, the school shouldn't be sponsoring it
Dec 15th 2016

Dec 15th 2016
148
                                              if only there were some entirely unstoppable way to pray
