Yes, Secondclass, that is what Loaf is trying to say with this thread
Political correctness isn't a bad thing
Does that mean I get to go scream the word nigger at the nearest black person?

For every terrorist attack you stop using this method, you would have wrongfully jailed hundreds of thousands more and wasted countless hours of police time.

The point is that the man chose to withhold information because he didn't want people thinking that he was a bad person People are literally turning a blind eye to rational thinking solely because of raceYou don't think that's a problem?

He should have done exactly what he did, because at the time, all he saw was a group of foreigners. It's far from "rational thinking" to call the cops because a group of sketchy Muslims is walking down the street. If he saw a group of people holding a bomb, then he should of course call the police regardless of their race.
Seeing a group of Muslims casing a place over a period of several weeks is reason enough
Ethnicity is reason for suspicion
But let's just pretend Islam presents no risk to the west because we're good and fair minded people right In fact if someone is a Muslim, we should go out of our way to not imply them in anything or god forbid people might think we're racially profiling

That's suspicious regardless of your fucking religion or ethnicity. I see where you're coming from when you make this argument, but it's still wrong.
I love how you make up fake viewpoints that no one believes in to look smart.How about don't treat Arabic people any differently from Caucasian people? Is that such a ridiculous opinion?

Both are issues, but the second is far more prevalent and important.

Statistics on what, racism? I can assure you that once you leave the PC bubble in big cities, college campuses, and the Internet, people are just as concerned about race, but in the opposite direction.
How do you quantify a held mindset? You can't take an "are you racist" poll honestly.You're the one who's making the positive assertion that there's more anti-racism against Muslims than racism. Where are your "statistics" to back that up?
So if political correctness is bullshit...
