How on earth can someone who has been offended by a racist term like *** be vilified the way you guys are vilifying Sticks.
I agree that banning the likes of Baa-Baa black sheep is PC going mad but I think most of you are failing to understand why we have political correctness in the first place. Not too many years ago people used to use racial epithets all the time and with no consequences. Black people were subjected to out and out abuse and we were then told that we were 'too sensitive'. Political correctness has addressed that. Now we do have the situation where some people have taken it too far, but never lose sight of why political correctness exists and I, for one, would never vilify someone for being offended by a word that has been used as a racist slur.
