I'm not trying to defend Ken and his statement, don't get me wrong. But that comment you took such offense to is not breaking the law, you may not agree with it, but he is perfectly entitled to say it. This is the danger with PC related topics. It suffers from scope creep where things get added to the bucket that is "not correct to say", and before we know it, people can't say anything any more.
