        since changing unrelated terms with each other, how about "political correctness" & "broccoli"? Also inaccurate, but healthy!

        I don't quite agree. Since pc basically means "acting according to every positive social change in the last 100" nowadays.

        4 Example, nobody claim Ghostbusters was PC just because it had a Black man on the cast. It was NORMAL.Blacks exist.

        the woman part of the equation is what got people flinging their SHIT at walls - sexism lives on where racism dwindles

        Mostly. But I saw some comments where they're specifically outraged there's Blacks in Ghostbusters.

        with such inane arguments as yours, I can see why the left prefers simply shouting people down.

        So. Same result. So objectors know, and deserve not another concession of any kind. WWC indeed.
