Political Correctness

But the question is, is something said out of ignorance, stupidity, or out of context? Using the N word, yes, offense and not justifiable (regardless of how you spell it!). Calling someone niggardly, just means they are perceived as cheap. Mayor of DC said that in a meeting and was forced to apologize due to the outcry instead of saying read the dang dictionary. THAT to me is PC and BS.

What happened there is not PC, it's bullshit only.
