I understand there is such a thing as getting overly sensitive, and that sometimes political correctness goes too far. But on the whole, would I prefer to live in a society and a time where kids who didn't mean to be racist are taken to task for their thoughtless actions, or one where it's perfectly acceptable for teachers, politicians and clergy to make sweeping generalisations or rude jokes about drunken Indians, with no consequence for their actions?
