It always struck me that the term "German engineering" can be used with pride in automobile marketing campaigns. Yet, if one were to refer to "African engineering", the PC police would be all over that individual.
Exactly right.
This atmosphere of feigned insult is the most basic catalyst for division in this country - and giving in to it only hastens our demise. One of the most diverse sectors of our country is the construction industry - every race and color is represented there, and as men do, rough and racial commentary is not just used, but preferred - By and large, it is not racially charged, unless it is truly racist in intent. The lion's share is just rough banter, and is generally appreciated. That is more the tone America has always had, and it is vastly different than the environment engendered by these PC police.
It seems that many today have forgotten that childhood rhyme:
Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me.
