I find that intention is more meaningful than language, and I also find that if someone is at least willing to reconsider their language in order to not be hurtful, it shows that their heart is in the right place.
At the same time, I don't have a lot of patience for most of the PC stuff, because it's artificial sensitivity. Besides, who makes this shit up? I want to know what bunch of jerks keeps deciding that we need a new euphemism for "black" every couple of decades. From "Negro" to "Black" to "African-yourcountryhere". First of all, I don't think it's especially reasonable to have to determine someone's nation of origin before being able to describe their appearance. Second, as technically inaccurate as "black" is, it's just a fucking adjective for fuck sake.
Plus, I am pretty damn sure it wasn't an indian who decided indians have to be called "Native American" now.
