How Politically incorrect are You? Quiz

My result

You're not politically incorrect! You get it. Racism and sexism are outdated, uncalled for and not funny. You love a good laugh, but you know that there's actually nothing funny about offensive tropes that dehumanize women and people of color. You're the last one to culturally appropriate something, and you can't stand it when people do. You're still wondering why white people in America think its OK to dress up like Native Americans. You're sensitive, intelligent and progressive. What's not to love?! Well, sometimes you may come across as a party pooper. Try to pick your battles, not EVERYTHING is offensive. What do you think?

This is just a fun quiz, QS..and I'm very sure you know the difference,.it's good to keep a sense of humor. :). I took the quiz and it said I was definitely NOT politically INcorrect. Go figure :)
 

You're a little politically incorrect. We know, you're not racist and you actually do think some things are off limits. However, you think people are too sensitive and you're not on a PC crusade to censor everything that may be over the line. You're balanced and laid back, but sometimes you slip and just can't resist the inappropriate joke or phrase. You've probably offended more than one person in life, but you most likely don't care because you know when to stop. You're in right in the middle! What do you think? Let us know!

Me too, I think it's the fine line between not accepting Muslim jokes but still finding Madea a scream.
 
Wow, you're totally politically incorrect! You don't understand why people seem to have so many feelings all of a sudden. You love a good joke, no matter at whose expense, and you're an equal opportunity offender. You don't take things too seriously, and you're likely to think that life is too short to get worked up over every joke that could possibly be interpreted as offensive. You think being PC has gotten out of control and that free speech is under attack. You've got thick skin and a mischievous streak, which are a dangerous combination because you don't always realize when you're offending people. We recommend some much needed sensitivity training! What do you think? Come on, tell us exactly what you think!

Yeah, baby!
 
There is a big difference in seeing humor in things... and being hateful and mean.. I think this quiz proves that.. I am not politically Incorrect... Some of the pictures WERE funny.. It's a good thing when you can laugh at yourself.. However.. I completely draw the line at deliberately demeaning things... and even if I may think something is funny but I realize it makes another person angry or insulted... I WILL NOT SAY IT.. Why? Just to prove I CAN? That's just being hateful.

Let's just say, if there's a knock on the door in the next 15 minutes, it'll be the PC Police coming for me. In that case, it's been nice knowing you guys.

I really don't understand how someone can make the determination that someone else is "too sensitive"... if they are... they are.... and to demean it is cruel.. Their feelings are as valid and anyone elses.. even if we don't quite agree or understand. To me.. expecting everyone to be as thick skinned or have the same sense of humor as we do is like expecting everyone to practice your religion..... it ain't gonna happen.

It's a good few years since I've been to America, but I was amazed at what I saw as 'two faced' approach to P.C.
I recall that in the summer many people put sun shields on their cars in the works car park. One of these had a picture of a bikini clad female on a beach. A notice was placed on he car pointing out that this contravened the policy on what could be shown.

However in the evening on one of the chat shows, the allegations and innuendos about the sexual behaviour of some public figures was mind-boggling. An american colleague said that public figures were pretty well fair game for such things.

Capt, It seems to me that public figures are fair game anywhere....including Royalty, politicians, entertainers...this is to sell papers or increase viewership.
 
The world is in a bad enough state without us living in fear of making a comment that somebody finds offensive. It reminds me of an incident that happened when we were working in America. A colleague from Yorkshire greeted a female with 'Morning love' and was reported for it. Now in many parts of the UK, love, duck, hen etc.. are friendly informality and perfectly acceptable. Needless to say the female in question was as welcome as a bad smell as a result.

I don't think the quiz was meant to be funny, but neither was it meant to be taken too seriously. Well, I'm happy to be non-PC - in the best traditions of British Music hall humour.

Capt..I totally agree with you. your example to me with the very mild "Morning, Love" was viewed as not PC by the person in question. I worked in a one girl office for a union and that greeting in a friendly tone would be taken as a warm hello...not sexual harassment ...lol. I know what real sexual harassment is..as a teenager working for a large department store I had an older, very married manager who tried to nail the young girls back in the stockroom. You just tried NEVER to be alone with that lech..and that's what we called him..lol. But I was only 17 and this was the lat 60s...so I went to the store manager and asked to be transferred. I told her I didn't feel safe around the manager and she looked terse for a moment but said well..we'll send you off to gift wrap. I was thrilled..lol.. I got to work for a nice old lady (I realize now she was probably 50).

End of story was that Mr "Lech" was eventually fired for..you guessed it...trying to nail a girl in the stockroom. This was maybe 3 years later.

i think anything taken to extremes is problematic. Sexual harassment is a real thing and I'm glad people are required to take classes with most jobs because some people need to be TOLD where the line is and others obviously have a grip on where the line is in human relations without the class..but oh well.

This quiz was meant to be fun and educational and not to be taken seriously...its definitely written with a light touch. I think MOST people are aware that having social awareness is a very good thing..but the PC police can be a PITA if they climb on a high horse and think there is only one opinion that matters...and guess which one that is? I like hearing other thoughts and attitudes and I don't see free speech as an excuse to be rude...but in a free society all voices need to be heard..and some will serve as a warning as to what you never want to be.

Americans have a right to peaceful assembly. Gay rights advocates weren't popular...woman's lib wasn't popular...I could go on and on...people were "shocked and outraged" then but over time things shifted..why? Because people spoke out. I applaud the ACLU for making us aware how important freedom of speech is and that even speech offensive to some has a right to be heard.
