That's a good way to think about it the whole situation. In my country it was religion rather than race. Thousands have been killed here over the past 30 years based on their beliefs even though it has stopped for the most part now.

Even amongst that background there was always room for humor and to be honest i think it can often help the situation. If you can't laugh at a subject and get penalized for mentioning it then are you not making it more harmful? Are you not giving it more power and influence on people actions?

I totally agree with the point that you made here,

So previous generations had to endure these crazy judgements based on race, sexual interest etc and were heavily marginalized and then civil rights movements (people of all backgrounds) came together and said this is wrong and we agreed and moved on some just haven’t let it go and have taken what was once a nobel cause and turned it into a classic witch hunt!

It’s as if they have become intoxicated with this victory and now we’re living in a hypersensitive society to compensate for the previous atrocities!

There have been huge improvements over the years but if you keep pushing it too far and become unnecessarily strict it will only drive people the opposite way. There are far more important things to be focused on and i hate when i read the papers and see time and resources being taken up with pointless cases and tiny slights instead of focusing on the real problems within our society. Major problems that are only getting worse while all of this takes place.

Only time will tell which way it is going to go but i feel that people are getting sick of this nanny state where we cannot have an opinion. Some good thoughts in there.
