(he asked rhetorically)

I’ve seen people portray proponents of political correctness as seeing racism everywhere, however…

In one of Arch warhammer’s videos, he referred to an imperium faction that’s basically space Afghans (space Arabs?) as sand n-words and while some of his fans were surprised and hoping they misheard, others were glad to announce that he ‘wasn’t burdened with political correctness’.

During a UFC incident where an Afghan fighter snubbed a handshake by an Israeli fighter (and he said later it was due to some weigh-in shenanigans he didn’t approve of that would give the Israeli fighter some sort of advantage (I don’t understand MMA rules)) the guy called him a terrorist. When a spokesperson (manager?) for the UFC was asked about whether the Israeli fighter would be booted from the UFC for use of that language, the guy said that the UFC is one of the few refuges from political correctness.

There was another incident that was along similar lines, where out-and-out racism was hailed as not being politically correct.

Myself and members of the right wing usually see equating not being politically correct with racism as being hyperbole, but it’s kind of hard to continue seeing it as hyperbole when the right wing are glad about the use of racist language as not being politically correct.

I’d like to think that not being politically correct means being…I’m not sure, but at least something far short of literally using racist slurs.
