Uh-huh. Now could you please explain, in your own words, how any of that makes Burke politically correct? This whole politically correct thing has become an essentially meaningless term used these days almost exclusively by kneejerk conservatives who mistakenly think it's a synonym for anyone whose politics are to the left of theirs.

Are you really saying that the mere fact Burke has friends who aren't universally pale and male automatically makes him politically correct?

And aren't those who are labelled PC usually accused of being soft on crime? Are you now suggesting that Burke is soft on crime? And that good ol' non-PC Republicans like yourself don't despise creeps and predators?

This politically correct tag seems to be waved around a lot, but none of you who toss it around seem to agree on what it means,or have ever offered provided a useful definition. And your reply shows just how meaningless and poorly understood the term has become.

Sorry, but you've been misinformed. Men don't fear you, and women don't want you, but your parents do want their basement back.
