I call black people black, not African-American. I call orientals just that, unless I know specifically where they are from.
I don't cringe at all when someone refers to me as an occidental (not that that commonly happens).
You may have noticed that PC and I don't get along to well. I believe it to be worse in a way than censorship, for it is sophistry, and far more damaging.
We do not live in a more tolerant society, we just cover our intolerance with a honeyed tongue.
