1. Call someone white trash to their face and see what happens.
2. The two words don't carry the same weight to begin with.
3. Yes people who oppose equal rights for all should be called out as bigots, and that's not 'political correctness' that's called decency.

Oh and I've never met any black person who insisted on being called 'African-American'. Ever.
It's too much work for EVERYONE involved.

But there are times when it goes too far, for example this ban on the word "brainstorming" for allegedly being offensive to people with epilepsy even though people with epilepsy don't find it remotely offensive.

A far better example. Never once seen any students sent home for wearing a US flag, in their own nation, during the 17th of may which is the Norwegian independence day.
