All are acceptable as they do not offend a minority group. There is no doubt in my mind the pendulum has swung too far on PC. Whilst the attitudes of the white majority in Britain up to the mid 1970's was totally unacceptable in today's context, we are now banning 'Irish Jokes' and those in a similar vein. It is incredible that an immigrant to the UK can get a house, live on benefits and claim Child Benefit for a child in another EU nation. Madness.

No! Go away with a question like this before some p.c. pr*tt decides to make a name for 'itself' and have it made law!!!
What about
Brown girl in the ring
Nights in white Satin
Don't it make my brown eyes blue
A whiter shade of pale
Cherry pink and apple blossom white
Blue, blue my love is blue
Blue moon
Green green grass of home
Call me mellow yellow
Paint it black - wow, what a song!
Sorry about the blue and green bits but they certainly could apply to a number of young people to be found in the early hours of the morning wandering the streets after a good night out!

Well someone's bound too, given the fact that Ba-ba black sheep got banned!
I have a sneaky feeling that no one took the time or consideration to ask the sheep-community how they feel about being unemployed all of a sudden?! I for one, would like to see more support and counselling on offer for them!

Given the meteoric rise of anti-political correctness in the UK - isn't it now politically incorrect to be politically correct? Therefore it's you who's being politically correct.

My wife is a teacher.
She has to call what she writes on a "chalk board."
Not only is it not made of chalk, but the thing is black.
But it's all right to call a drymarker board a white board
PC gone mad
