Political Correctness

"Should a black person be fired for saying there's systemic racism" is an interesting question, because recently, people have tried to link Black Lives Matter and people protesting against police racism---to incidents of cops getting killed. If the viewpoint that the two are related becomes popular enough, we may very well see black people getting fired in the future for making such claims about systemic racism which could be viewed as incendiary.

There hasn't been a rise in crime but a rise in reports of crimes against muslims but most are later proven to be hoaxes.

Second, not being politically correct means you don't adhere to what most deem to be acceptable terms and or definitions when speaking your points of view. It doesn't mean you're racist. Saying black neighborhoods are violent isn't politically correct and may be wrong but one could make that argument with the use of facts. And someone could opposingly argue it's a systemic problem causing the violence in the inner cities. But saying to kill someone is just inciting violence. Pc just paints one argument as being morally superior to the other. We could argue all day on which examples are better but nonetheless you will always try and start off with the moral high ground attached to your side. "You don't hate minorities and women right? Well then you must agree with me".
