That made me laugh.

I think the whole political corectness movement started out with good intentions, especially when it came to using non-offensive words for various ethnic groups. I think most of us would agree that some of the historical names used to describe people of African origin would be unacceptable today, and that's partly due to greater awareness, brought about by the politically correct movement, if it can be described as a movement.

So thats why we don't see reruns of "Till Death Us Do Part" then
