Agreed... Political correctness is the worst thing ever thrust upon society.  I personally refuse to refer to anyone as an "anything"-American.  I am an American - Period... and I just happen to be of Irish descent, that's all.   When Italians move to England they aren't called Italian-English.  We don't hear of French-Japanese...  Why do we have all these stinkin' "flavors" of Americans!!??  Stupid.   Sorry I started this...  but I didn't think Varsha's comment was racial.  Back to things Ferrari.

From a 2007 Texas A&M definition contest...

"Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical, liberal minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end."

Regarding Varsha’s comments at the USGP……perhaps the Europeans like Vettel and Alonzo don’t obsess over being politically correct, as we seem to in the USA. Perhaps European sensitivity to what might be called racist by some in the USA, is not as acute. In a country where words like “apartment” and “Chicago” are considered racist “code words” by some, maybe the Europeans have more important things with which to concern themselves…..after all…..no note was made of the color of Lewis Hamilton’s skin, was it?

The US is too sensitive to this politically correct BS......it's very annoying.

It seems frowned upon to refer to Blacks as anything but "African American".......{{eyeroll}}

Also, in case people haven't paying close attention, it's "only racist if it comes from a white person's mouth".

Tell me the last time you heard a non Caucasian accused of being racist, LOL....

Anyways, some levity to this thread:
