A lot of people have tried to exaggerate political correctness for comic effect, but it's impossible. No matter how far you go, someone else has already gone farther for real. One of the dopier political correct ideas is relating the metaphorical use of color terms to designate racial groups — White, Black, Brown, etc. — and forcing them to relate to other uses of color terms. Like black cats crossing paths, black Friday, etc. Counterexamples like "in the black," or "lily-livered" are just ignored. In actual fact, the use of color words for races is just about completely unrelated to the use of color terms in other contexts. But what fun is that? Why miss an opportunity to harass people and fine-tune everybody's behavior by government fiat? Even toddlers can be regimented by such fine new ideas. Here's what "equality experts" are up to
