That's not the point. There was a time not long ago when people were encourage to refer to Christmas as winter holidays, so as not to offend people of other faiths. Indeed in 2006 or thereabouts, approximately 75% of the largest employers in this country barred their staff from putting up Christmas decorations for that very reason. It's quite well documented. Thankfully, we appear to have moved on from that.Originally Posted by lardy
Maybe that's not the best of examples but the point I was trying to make in answer to Sludge's comment on political correctness was that in some instances decisions are taken at a political level that do not encourage debate, which in my opinion is not a good thing. In effect they are a fait accompli. I should add however that I am not referring to race issues in this instance.
