I just think political correctness is crap.
Political correctness? In my humor, I never talk about politics. I was never much into all that.
Political correctness means nothing to me. Nothing. It's the new Puritanism, darling. Preventing us from expressing ourselves.
I think political correctness is a moving line.
Political correctness kills discussion.
