Could someone from the PC Police please share what the appropriate penance is for using the term " Oriental " instead of Asian ?
Also what is the penalty for NOT correcting some innocent soul who happens to use a term [ Oriental ] which has long been accepted ? And my long time Asian friends have shared with me is not objectionable to them ?
Also how does one determine that someone is " African American " ? We have many citizens of Canada living here in the Villages . How do you know that a person isn`t " African Canadian " ?
Except the people I know from Canada who we would call " African American " have told me that they find " African-Canadian " to be objectionable . This past winter when I asked a good friend from Montreal what the PC term would be for someone such as himself who was a person of color , he told me real quick " my family considers us to be " French-Canadian ". We don`t care for the African label ".
So ............ I guess what is PC depends on where on the globe one might be located . Or who is wearing the PC hat today .
PC Police p-lease chime in !!
