[QUOTE="Cruz_del_Sur, post: 811084, member: 55747"] I have mixed feelings to be honest. I generally dislike pc but i also tend to hang around people who are well intended. Last year a company here had to pull back an ad and change the product name of a barbecue called "black *******" (it was all black) because some people found it offensive. Two australians paint their faces black/brown to pay tribute to their favorite player. The player is perfectly fine with it, but some people in the US get offended and Quantas (sponsor of the entire thing) apologizes... Let me say that again because it is important: Two people with nothing but good intentions pay respect to a player (in their own way, granted), the player understands it and accepts it gladly, and because someone else from a completely different race 20,000 miles away might have felt slightly offended, the corporate sponsor goes out and apologizes. Sometimes i sincerely believe we've lost the plot. [/QUOTE]
