What is it that you do or say on a regular basis that would be considered not politically correct?

Were suppose to say Sales Associate instead of Cashier and Lead Sales Associate instead of 3rd key. I wanna see them try and write me up for not saying it.

I catch myself using the phrase "Doesn't suck" a lot. ;)

(and yes...if you're wondering...I DO suck. ;) )

I use the phrase, "Well, fuck me!" sort of frequently.

Doesn't seem to be having the desired effects. :rofl:

I routinely challenge anti-Muslim prejudice.

Surely it IS politically correct to challenge anti-Muslim prejudice?

Or has America now gone so far in it's 'War on terror' that believing that there are moral law abiding peaceful Muslims who don't deserve persecution is politically incorrect? Eeeeeeeek!

I think probably questioning America's current stance on race relations with our Muslim cousins on a predominantly American website is probably the most politically incorrect thing I've said recently.

Loulabelle,

I have found that prejudice – wherever one might encounter it - is seldom rational.

In the US currently you see a trend of inclusion of Muslims in the media. I think in America many people are confused about people of the Muslim faith. Many of us (myself included) were raised in areas where the only time we heard of Islam or Muslims was in reference to Nation of Islam.

When I see something that is lame, weird, or tacky I will say, "That's so gay"

My lesbian girl friend says I need to stop giving so much credit to the gay's. :D

It's becomming increasingly non-PC to rant about how the ultra-right wing christain whackos are taking over the Republican party in the US. Especially if you're a member of that party.

Yet, I do it.

Lilith 07-16-2007 12:58 PM

I say "retarded." I know. Horrible. I never refer to a person as being retarded. But I will say something someone did, especially myself, was retarded.

I think you automatically go to ESE teacher hell for it but it just slips out.

Loulabelle 07-16-2007 02:07 PM

I remember having to mentally remove the word 'Mad' from my vocabulary when I worked in the pschiatric hospital for my work experience week when I was 17.

When have I ever been politically correct?

I guess compared to some of my co-workers I must seem like a saint for not screaming out "Look at the tits on her!", talking non stop about my latest sexual conquests, or assuming every effeminate man is gay.

Though some of my favorite exclamations are "That was gayer than that time when gay went to gay town.", "Gods dammit!", and obviously I do like the bawdier puns. Of course, there is no one to flirt with at work.

Well, it all depends on where you are at. I think that they would have tarred and feathered me at the Paper Mill if I called some of the people on their bullshit of "Liberals caused 9/11" It was bad enough letting it slip that I don't go to church, and many of my friends are gay or bisexual.
