No.
But this is actually a thread about racism again, isn't it?

Yes, the internet has managed to validate that Stephen Fry picture. It's almost like we have an outrage-on-demand culture.
So is the person ever doing the criticizing ever wrong.....because sometimes they're and people seem to think that's an impossibilityNo, most of the time I seem to see complaints against "PC Culture" it translates to "I'm not allowed to be an asshole without consequence anymore".
Also I get annoyed at claims of "False outrage" or "Fake outrage". It seems to assume just because the person doesn't see a problem with the behavior being criticized that no one on earth can Really be offended. Guess what? Your experience isn't perfectly generalizable to the whole of the species. You are not the default.
No, but certain outrage is ridiculous. There's a Bill Burr routine talking about the Clippers owner and the Duck Dynasty guy. They're fucking old. What did you think they thought? There's a generation of people who are just never going to be progressive. Accept it, combat it where you can, but move on.

Good lord. Is there an internet rule that states that those who invoke Fry do not understand Fry? Because my god is that an old hat.
That sounds dreadful. How long were they in the hospital?Feels like it with people so quick to jump down someones throat on Twitter.
I wanna see the receipts.When people can't say Merry Christmas at their jobs without getting fired, I have to say Yes, it's gotten a bit ridiculous. Everyone is so 'offended' it's pathetic.
I dunno if you paid attention, but most people just joked about Sterling. I forgot about the Duck Dynasty guy until you brought it up (because who watches that anyway)
And why is it people always need comedians to have their backs on this? Get your own material
They did combat. Both got in trouble to varying degrees? Not seeing a big deal to how they were dealt with. I mean unless literally you want old people to have get out of racism free cards, which fuck that.
Also Duck Dynasty guy is one of the fakest media creations ever. So extra fuck that.
Working both tech support at Sprint and at Target, we were not allowed to say it, I don't think we'd have gotten fired thought. I still said it out of habit thought, even as an atheist.I wanna see the receipts.

Has semantic correctness gone too far?!This isn't an article.
Recently on Long Island some of the malls did not have the traditional Santa's Village for where children can take pictures with Santa
It was replaced by a simple Glacier
All because the people in charge wanted to be PC and not offend anyone.
To me that's bullshit, who cares if people get offended by the Christmas spirit, stop it
I'm going to quote myself and Kareem Abdul Jabbar here.

Some of the oldest people I know are the most progressive, a teacher here, Bernard Sanders there.
While conversely, I can have my peers espousing beliefs of homophobia and racial segregation.
I find it is not age so much as geographic location, accessibility to other peoples, technology level, and parents who determine whether an older person can progress.
Fuck yes. It wasn't this bad 5 years ago. I thought only conservatives cared about PC because they were always being racist but everyone gets offended over anything these days.
First one sounds like a lying employee and the second one is blatant satire taken from a fake cbs website.
Oh, I wasn't saying they were true, just that they were the only examples I could find.
What else would he say after coming under fire?The guy in charge specifically said they did not change to be "PC." It was quoted the the article that Schatt posted here (and ignored to add that title anyway).
At least change the PE avatar dude
