It seems to me nowadays that no-one can get away with saying the words black, brown, asian or indeed white, without gettin tarred with the political correctness brush.
e.g. A blackboard is no longer a blackboard, its a chalkboard
e.g. Baa baa blacksheep, a very tradinational nursery rhyme, can no longer be sung in Nursery's thanks to PC
e.g. it was first PC to label someone black, so the term coloured was used, but then that became PC, so now we are back at black... I don't imagine anyone black i know to be offended by me naming the colour off their skin?
But can anyone justify these three examples for me...? I just don't see the insult in them, and i am open to be corrected and taught.
So can someone shed some light on this, or at least share their thoughts with me?

No it cant, it causes more tension by 'favoring' one community, like in the UK for example, in a town they changed Christmas lights to Festive lights, to avoid upsetting Muslims, when i doubt there is a single Muslim who would be offended by a Christian country's celebrations
I think I may wear the red shirt today. Hey you asked for it.
