Why is America becoming so politically correct?
For example, I was talking to a few guys how much I think illegal immigrants should be deported? Some Mexican guy came up and said I was racist because I don't want illegal immigrants to be here. I did not even say anything about race. I don't hate Mexicans, I just hate people who come in to this country illegally and demand free stuff. Because that is why they are here, they are not here to become Americans because they want to. They could care less, they just want more free stuff and that is fact. If the immigration reform passes, this country is dead. Why is America becoming so politically correct? ANOTHER example: I was talking to a Black guy who was pissed off because his mom didn't get the food stamps for free because now she has to work. I asked him, "Does your mother have special problems?" And he said no, I told him that's good. He got mad, even though I explained that welfare hurts poor people, and he said I was racist towards black people. Again, I didn't say anything about race, I just don't want to see people getting free stuff. I mean when FDR was around, he only gave free stuff to people that couldn't take care of themselves. Why is America becoming so politically correct?

The past three generations are some of the most spoiled and sheltered people on earth. They missed too many maturation windows so now they are little children in adult bodies who have no concept of the realities of life on earth. They live in such la-la land fairy tale worlds they can be deluded by any crap that sounds good to them.
They have bought the lying crap from neo-Marxist bigots that the problems in the world are from greedy capitalists and corrupt politicians. The truth is the citizens themselves nearly everywhere, particularly in Latin America, create their own disasters. Most often it's from spewing so many babies they swamp their own lands with human vermin and spill it over into neighboring lands like ours.
"Greedy capitalists" do suck workers blood, but they suck it from the floor. Overpopulating excess labor cuts each others' throats by undercutting each others' wages. The poor make themselves even poorer that way while they help make the rich richer supplying them with ever cheaper labor.
Source(s): For decades I studied philosophies, cultures, and social institutions. I began that because of confusion resulting from my military experience under the shadow of neo-Marxist anti-military and anti-capitalism indoctrination in the universities. I continue a forty year quest wading through the huge pile of stinking crap a wide variety of bigots dumped on top of truth hiding it from nearly everyone's view. The pile was made by blaming people or practices they don't like while excusing people or practices they do like regardless of where the fault really lies. - 8 years ago
I can't answer why but the when happened sometime in the 2000s. When I was in American public schools they were still pretty much about math, science, and actual history rather than the PC brainwashing they are set up for now. It was a strange break between the anti-communist propaganda era and the new political correctness propaganda era the elites have shifted gear into. Kindergartners used to play house or cops and robbers, now they get lessons about how awesome gay sex is and how evil white men are (the same ones that created pretty much everything modern day humans take for granted). It all starts with brainwashing of the children. Now a lot of the kids are coming of age and they worship political correctness. They've never had to face the harsh realities of life such as finding food, shelter, jobs, or paying for their own iPhones and they haven't got a clue what's really in store for them. You have the millions of illegals who latch on to anyone who will let them stay in America as well as the welfare machine which comprises probably 85%+ of the black population in America. People love racism. Political correctness and multiculturalism are all about racism. Of course when you tell blacks that whites are evil and blacks are awesome they are going to eat it right up. Apply the same logic to native Americans or Hispanics. Asians don't seem to go for that garbage much yet but with American nonsense spreading like wildfire across the globe it's only a matter of time.

It is a way to cause tension between the races. When I was growing up Black people were called N word first then it went to ***** which I thought was more respectful than the other choice but I was told they would rather be called colored people. NAACP ( National assn. for the Advancement of colored People.) but then they wanted to be called Blacks by now I don't know what they are called and about the time I excepted them being Blacks it changed again to African Americans. Hell I thought they were All Americans just like the rest of us who for the most part came from another country in the first Place. But now they want to be called African first and American last and most of them have never been to Africa. You will never stop political correctness when they keep changing the names to reference another.

It began in the 1980's when Reagan was elected. It's a way to identify yourself with a popular idea or movement. Why didn't you ask him why he didn't come here legally. I have a son-in-law that did.

when the American People became lax and lazy watching out for their freedoms and left it up to career politicians. when the kabala became the guiding document instead of the Constitution. when the criminals in power , both demoncrats andrepublicans, began using ethnic gangs and the occult as psycho-- political tools of intimidation and mind control.when the freemasons were accepted as an organisation for good instead of the dark lucerferian cult that it is . when the sodomites were made out to be acceptable instead of the filthy perverts they are. the criminals who run this illegtimate govt. see the U.S. Constitution as a , " chain that binds our hands ".

A report came out saying that illegal immigrants were a big financial support to Medicaid. Many of you who just think that immigrants live off of welfare are just dumb and dumber. Many illegals work hard for very little, they just want a break. They even pay more taxes than many corporations by rate. But Fox News rules the roost in America so whatever it says is true. This is sad. I know the new right wing Christian ethics is to screw the poor because hey that is what Jesus would do. You are just scared selfish, greedy 2 year olds. And believe it or not I sincerely hope you get the dog eat dog world you so wish for. You wouldn't have a clue what to do and I would be laffing at you all as you lived in your perfect world.

Hello, what century did you just time travel from?
"America" has been "politically correct" since the late 1980s.
