Political Correctness and John Cleese

We are living in a world of political correctness run amuck. This commentary by John Cleese on Political Correctness is spot on.

We Can’t Have Comedy And Political Correctness At The Same Time.

My thought is that I would rather people not tone down their true thoughts or hide them behind politically correct statements. I’d rather see your true colors and beliefs so I know where the nastiness is, where the people I should steer clear of are. Forcing everyone to play nice and wrap their true selves in a polite and non-offensive cloak so that they aren’t upsetting doesn’t allow us to really see who we are dealing with. Political correctness does us, as a society, more harm than good.
