Chelsea Handler said political correctness isn't working for Americans.
In a op-ed written for The Daily Beast, the 40-year-old comedian said she sat down with representatives from the Media Action Network for Asian Americans, the Anti-Defamation League, the NAACP, the National Hispanic Media Coalition, American Indians in Film & Television and the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
"We had an honest discussion about whether or not it's funny, appropriate, helpful, or hurtful to traffic in ethnic, racial, and religious stereotypes," Handler said.
Handler said they all "ended up smiling and laughing about examples of politically incorrect humor because they could see she was sincerely joking."
"Americans have given political correctness a try and it's not working," Handler wrote. "We're better off just saying what's on our mind…and thinking about it before we say it…and laughing about it after we say it."
"Obviously, we don't want a nation full of nasty racists and heartfelt misanthropes trumpeting their spite on proud public display, but we do want people to be able to honestly express themselves and know the difference between humor and malice," she added.

1) Sleeping her way to the top.
2) A comedy act that features three things -Lame okes about race and homosexuality. Lame jokes about republicans not being sensitive enough about race and homosexuality. Lame jokes about her sleeping her way to the top.
She is very crude and vulgar.
When I saw the name Chelsea Handler I thought it was the CIA keeper for Chelsea Clintoon. Or maybe her husband or girlfriend. I had no idea it was a person.
Is there a link?
Two men and a feminist walk into a bar. The feminist says “That’s not funny!”
She is right but I never heard of the woman.
Pretty much gave up listening to comedians a decade or more ago because profanity became way too much of the acts.
The best comedy acts I ever saw were on Johnny Carson where there was no profanity at all.
I have had Netflix for two years now and have yet to watch any of the comedians.
We don’t?
Liberals will eat their own in the inevitable revolution, she will inadvertently offend someone high up and she will sent “away”.... that is the only solace I can take about that waste of skin.
We FR types knew it wouldn’t work from the start, and said so, only to be called Vile names.
NOW WAIT JUST AN EFFIN' MINUTE!!
Hey Chelss. Tell that to President Dumb Ads and Loretta LynchMob.
Sorry, here it is:
Chelsea Handler: "Being Politically Correct Isn't Working For America"
“FWIW, Handler is rich for two reasons:”
It’s not worth anything in relation to this discussion. (However I agree :!)
What She is correct about is PCness. Like all liberal social experiments, it failed!
President Dumb Ass...!
Read “1984”. Political Correctness taken to its logical extreme.
Liberals will react to the failure of Political Correctness the same way they react to the failure of Communism and Socialism:
“The failure isn’t because the policy is flawed, the failure is because the right people weren’t in charge.”
Actually, they had a name for it: Newspeak.
Political correctness has forced Americans to be creative and to find a host of different ways to call a spade a spade.
Actually, I'd be glad to do away with the mealy mouthed nonsense and get down to brass tacks, but it would be weeks before all the millenials regained consciousness.
I thought this was an article about Chelsea Clinton’s handler. Every Clinton has one, don’t they?
Bill has many "handlers"
