Because the political correct revolution was so great, we are now in a backlash where racist jokes and bigoted outbursts are considered common and even funny. The mayor is racist, pure and simple. What he said disrespects everyone who was not black who lost their homes and were forced to evacuate.

I think political correctness was a backlash from people who saw that people may actually have been seen as just people and not for color, sex orientation, religion, etc.
So then they had to come up with whatever- americacan so that they could still seperate themselves and not have to be identified for who they are as a person. Because for some people they let that Adjective before American dictate to all who they see themselves as.... not who they may be if they let go.
If any of that made sense.... I have a good point just hard to communicate it properly.
