"I'm not a politically correct guy"

[Coventina]

Is poorly disguised code for, "I'm an insensitive jerk who isn't going to change."



Sorry, a co-worker just said that, and I had to vent....

1. Good comeback

And it's very true. We all know people like that, who say exactly that.

[yallerdawg]

2. Isn't it great?

"I'm a rude, nasty, privileged asshole" is now back in style!

Thank you, Mr. Precedent!

[HughBeaumont]

3. "Times are changing and I don't want them to."

In a nutshell.

[niyad]

4. "too lazy to think, eh????"-- one would be tempted to retort.

5. I recently went off on someone who said that...

He was whining about political correctness and I said, "So what you're saying is you miss being able to call people spics, gooks, chinks, kikes, wetbacks, ni**ers or any of the other derogatory ethnic slurs that you use to be "allowed" to use but I bet you'd be the first to complain if someone called you white trash or an ignorant cracker."

I usually respond to people complaining about political correctness by saying, "political correctness isn't new, it just use to be called good manners."

17. Yup! It Used to Be Called "Good Manners"

dolt45 has given trashy people an excuse to shove their trash in everyone's faces.

6. Last time someone said that to me I reminded him his gut was hanging over his belt.

"Since we are not being politically correct and all"

Shut him right up.

[ProfessorGAC]

12. Superb, HBS!

Absolutely SUPERB!

[Lucky Luciano]

13. Yup - he gave you license to crush him. Nice work! nt

[Adrahil]

7. I usually reply with...

What do you think that means?

9/10 times I get some response about telling it like it is, or some such. I follow up with:

So you don't care about how others might feel? Is that what you've learned in life? To not care about other people?

Stammering usually follows, often accompanied by insults.

[RedSpartan]

11. Exactly

When I was growing up, we called being politically correct being polite.

[Joe941]

8. That is code for "I'm a racist"

[CousinIT]

9. Translation: "I don't respect people who are different than me"

Further: "And I resent it when anyone tells me I should."

IOW, this is someone who has never grown up.

10. Ran into a variant of this on Facebook yesterday

Some knucklehead (friend of a friend) said, in effect, that even though President Trump may be a son of a bitch, he's our president, and if people got behind him, maybe he could achieve some good things.

Using the recent health care reform fiasco as an example, about how NOBODY thought the Senate Republicans' proposal was worth a damn, I asked what "good things" he thought Trump might accomplish if everyone just played nice with him.

The reply was along the lines of "I don't want to get into an argument." I left it at that, but internally I thought, "Really? Then why are you posting such asinine stupidity?"

[The Mouth]

14. What makes me grind my teeth:

"Well, *THEY* use the 'N-word' on rap tunes all the time.

Too dumb to argue with.

I don't care what anyone calls me, but then that *IS* a part of white privilege.

[Bradical79]

15. Up there with "I'm not racist, but...."

You know nothing good is going to come out of their mouth after that.

16. What is wrong with doing the right thing? How about being "correct" and the Golden Rule?

Poor baby being called out for being a jerk...BTW I hear that crap at work every day too.

[Skittles]

18. the kind of people who want to fire / shoot anthem dissenters

usually will describe themselves as "not politically correct"

[HopeAgain]

19. There is no such thing as "Politically Correct"

There is correct and there is just wrong to say.
