How come "us white people" don't shout about political correctness?

Aren't white people the only ones that should be able to use the words white and people in the same sentence when describing Caucasians? I think from now on I am going to play the white people card.

Update:

This Q was inspired by my latest trip to the bad side of the Q/A tracks. I was being facetious.

Update 2:

Although if it weren't for the "invention" of PC there would be less race cards to play and win. I think it's cheating

Update 3:

Oh yes I forgot. It was white people who invented it. They thought it would stop the madness but unfortunatly it just gave people of colour the call of the wild, Just shout racsist to win. Rednecks are not an ethnic people. Te be white.

    heh because this "white" person is bigger then that. i've been called a lot of things in my day so i'm not going to get too bent about what anyone wants to call my kinda skin (by the way i really hate the word caucasians it sounds like a vacation spot. "hey honey let's take the kids to our house in the caucasians this year") so if someone wants to hit me with a blanket statement (like soo many do) that's just fine by me i on the other hand am not going to get dragged to that level. i like to attack people on a more one on one basis, ya know just a personal preference

    Ah, but we do. It is not politically correct to speak badly about ethnic groups such as Poles or "rednecks". We don't like jokes about those with physical or mental handicaps either. Political correctnes protects people who are unfairly attacked because of their race, religion, ethnicity, handicaps, and physical appearance. There's nothing wrong with that. It's the right thing to do if you are a fair minded and intelligent human being.

    Yes go ahead and waste your time no one will take you seriously. Sad truth. Double standards don't work in favor of white people I thought this was a known fact already. Blame it on the media and the government with all their political correctness.

    Well play on then, Player. Frankly, I haven't heard anyone mention "political correctness" other than White people.

    P.S.- Everyone, including "rednecks", is ethnic.

    Actually, I do - we are the ones most affected (negatively) by political correctness. Every racial term is fought against by PC EXCEPT those for white people.

    I agree, if we argue political correctness, we're called racists. Come on though, 90% of "African-Americans" out there are not. Are they from Africa? Are "latino-Americans" directly from... uh... Latinoland? No, just like we're not from Caucasia. I hate being pc, it's so stupid.
