[Meursault]

there are two things that bother me about 'political correctness'. the first is that it involves double-standards, handing out different penalties for, or at least different interpretations of, the same act, depending upon who the actors are. the second is that it is often in practice relativistic, inasmuch as the 'interpretation' comes from the "perception" of the participants. looked at harder, these are kind of the same thing, and in any case are incompatible with 'rule of law', creating a might-makes-right world i want nothing to do with. just as motives are irrelevant in determining the veracity of a claim, so is identity irrelevant in determining either guilt or penalty.
