Isn't that an interesting statement.
  "everything almost these days is racist or politically incorrect. 
Difficult  to even talk these days with breaking egg shells."

I find that if one thinks before one speaks (or types) it isn't hard at 
all.  I find it amazing that people throw around that phrase "politically 
incorrect", when what they mean is :it was so much easier when we didn't 
have to think about how our words can impact others.  When minority 
groups just ignored all the racist, thoughtless things that leak out of 
our mouths. 
Forget the 'politically incorrect' stuff.  Thats just a smokescreen. How 
about just showing compassion and bestowing dignity on every person? And 
when we mess up and do say something stupid, (and we all do) why not 
acknowledge our mistake and just apologize.  "I'm sorry and it won't 
happen again, thank you for letting me know." Wow what a concept.
