Is political correctness hypocritical?
Take comedy for example. In these days were comedians can say anything about anyone except if they are black or a Pakistani, don't you think it's a bit hypocritical for comedians to be able to offend just about everyone else? I mean, what's so special about blacks that we have to change OUR humour and our way of thinking? It's preposterous!

Well the problem is that if we did say jokes about blacks and Pakistani's then we will have another Black Panther Party and Al Qaeda uprising.
One of the things which happens with such things is that people understate the violence that political correctness evolved out of the efforts to withstand. My sister, a proper New Englander, went to Rice University in Houston Texas in the sixties, and once had to ride in a car which didn't dare stop from Houston to Cleveland -- even to use the bathroom because it was too dangerous. Political correctness isn't perfect but you don't have to convince me with the violence of your language -- I believe you are violent.
Well a day could come where they think we are racist for not involving them in our humour. Whos fault is that?
depends on your definition of political correctness
