In my accusation about Political Correctness, you don't think it's relevant that I'm quoting terms already used in this thread? |
You are quoting a terms that used by racist like HarryE123, who used the "political correctness" argument to justify the used of a racial slur. This is way passed being "political correctness." I was never worry about being "political correctness". I find it blantly offensive and that what I am pointing out. That's why I say don't even use it as defend. "Political Correctness",...Ppplzzzzz.

I never address anything specific about your case. Why are you accusing me of "not thinking" this and that? Please, read my comment for God Sakes. Have I say anything in regarding to your own experience??

Blah Blah Blah..., I am sorry but "political correctness" has nothing to do with this case.

In the movie, he WAS indeed ignorant at the beginning and WAS indeed a racist. He didn't know anything about Hmong culture and think nothing of them. Not until he started interact with them; experienced their hospitality, bullsh*t from his own family, and his terminal disease; did he start to change for the better. Don't tell me that all you got from the movie and think that he was the same throughout.
Please don't use a movie as an example for a real life argument. Please for me....
