Different countries are PC about different things. We're more PC about blacks and Islam, and the US is more PC about Natives and Jesus vampires. I'd probably get arrested in the US just for calling them that.


Wow. You know so much about Christians and the US.

Canada is more PC about 'blacks'.. is that the politically correct term in Canada?

That says volumes already on Canada and PC in regards to 'blacks'.. the politically correct term is 'african-canadian' I'd assume if its as PC as the US anyways in that regard.

Ahh.. the irony.

(parts of ) Western Europe.

At the very least, the other nations all fetishize their native populations, i.e. the U.S.'s Washington Redskins football club or NZ's Maori-lees performances of the Hakka.

NZ seems a little PC-ish to me for some reason.

Women leader, saving whales, not killing our entire native popultion anti-nuke and lots of alternative lifestylers would be the reason for that.


Yeah, I like how you guys went with the slow phase out through poverty, drug use and alcohol.

It's more subtle.

The most PC place in the world is where everyone screams and throws a hissy fit whenever someone says "blackboard", "whiteboard" or "waitress". Also, they all campaign to ban Big Ears from the Noddy books.
