Has political correctness actually gone mad?

Now I watched the Dave Chappelle special a couple of days ago and I just don't get this. He mentions how he hates the members of the LGBTQ+ community that militantly go to condemn anyone who says anything at all that is offensive, NOT that he hates the entire group! His story about Daphne should clearly be evidence of this I would have thought - that once he engaged and saw the reality of the human experience that was going on, his eyes were opened to the struggle.
Or am I just also Transphobic without really knowing it?

Is it now deemed white fishing if a black person straighteners their hair? The world has gone mad.
If I could have dressed up like Mr T when I was six years old I would have. Would that have made me a racist for wanting to be like my idol back then?
Are we talking the hairstyle and jewellery? Or like covering yourself in paint?
Well when I was six I wanted to be just like him as he was my hero so if I could have been the same colour as him I would have. That’s through the mind of a child though and obviously would have been completely inappropriate looking at it now.
When I was a kid one of my nans dressed up as Whoopi Goldberg for this party, and went full on with body paint. When she died a few years later, they used a picture of her from that night on the little memorial collage.
Probably filed under massively inappropriate/someone needs to have a word rather than racist.
Whoppi was in Ghost so I can see how that would seem inappropriate to some.

Yes. You were a racist and I pity the fool that you were.
I did the reverse. I went to my school's fancy dress day as Beckham. Wore the number 10 home kit, and my mum whited me up and cut a wig into curtains.
A white kid went as a Milk Sheikh...I only remember because the pun was funny to me as a kid. He was fully browned up, styled out and carried a bottle of Yazoo around all day.
But you understand the difference in context right? Or do you genuinely not know this?
It's just, a version of this point is brought up in every single racism debate and the answer is always the same.
This is so wrong but funny mainly because it's just kids being kids.I did the reverse. I went to my school's fancy dress day as Beckham. Wore the number 10 home kit, and my mum whited me up and cut a wig into curtains.

You both definitely get an A for creativity. The addition of the Yazoo is genius.
How do you ever move forward as a society, and with racial equality if one ethnic group can wear and look however they want, but the other group can't? People should be able to look how they want and wear what they want. The whole thing is bonkers.
Black cultural signifiers are looked down on, maligned and/or ridiculed by the wider Western culture until white people decide that actually, this is cool, at which point it becomes accepted by the wider Western culture. Often though, it only really becomes accepted if a white person does it, and black people will still be looked down on, maligned and/or ridiculed for it. That's the core of the issue.
anyone can wear and look however they want though
I can walk around with a giant cock tattoo'd on my forehead, but people are going to criticise me for it
Surely no-one under the age of 90 is genuinely concerned by this.

Don’t use it then you fecking cretin! These cnuts should be rounded up along with Tories and anti vaxxer’s and used in a real life squid game.
I don't know people might respect such a bold fashion choice.
You get some weirdoes from Hull.
Adrian from Hull will be raging.
That's relatively normal for Hull

When the feck will you truly wither and die out? Give us all some hope and tell us it's imminent.
He loves it though!
I've never understood how these situations can fit into being cancelled. The studios are private companies, if they don't want to make a certain film, isn't that just a business decision? They must've weighed the pros and cons and decided not to go ahead. Is there more to it than this?
There's an aging comedian selling the fantasy the he is taboo to distract from his increasingly lazy and uninspired work. If you want more than that I don't think you'll find it.
I’d pay to be a fly on the wall if you got asked to include a book with an “opposing view” of the Holocaust
Do you mean indigenous Brazilians or do you think there aren’t black Brazilians?
Imagine going from being one of the funniest guys around to being so utterly miserable.
It would be a spectacle, that’s for sure.I’d pay to be a fly on the wall if you got asked to include a book with an “opposing view” of the Holocaust
Gone right off him. Whinging cnut.
I get that's where he is coming from, I'm referring to the people on the outside, complaining about cancel culture and pointing to this. What do they want companies to do?
1. The Hollywood blacklist was also carried out by private studios. We generally consider that to have been pretty bad.
2. I think the main concern is that studios 'weighing pros and cons' is actually a very shallow and surface-level process. Studios (and other businesses) can and have been bullied or tricked into taking action over any nonsense that anyone can gin up, as long as it's loud enough. James Gunn was famously fired over some dumb jokes only for the studio to hire him again a year later once it was obvious nobody had ever actually cared.
That's the whole thing with this. These studios and companies don't give a feck about morality or ethics. Those things are for poor people. They just care about their image and the money they'd lose by said image taking a nose dive.
Sometimes lack of political correctness (or accuracy) doesn't seem to bother the media at all:

That used to happen a lot when I worked in a uni. Quite a few of my colleagues had PhDs, but only the men were consistently referred to as "Doctor". One of the women used to correct people all the time, and she was seen as a bit pompous.
Really, if people had automatically given her the title she'd worked so hard for, it wouldn't have been an issue.
