Is it now impossible to say anything

[sasguru]

Political Correctness was originally a good idea, more akin to not giving offence by having good manners. The point is that in a civilised society no one should face having to be insulted for something they can't choose, for example skin colour, disability, gender or (perhaps controversially, in the sense of choice), homosexuality
When it goes so far as to avoid the facts e.g. black males committing most of the gun crime or Muslims being a bunch of deluded twats then it ceases to be a positive.

??Eh never heard those. Problem is when people can't use certain words/prhases they just invent others, eg "roys" instead of the n word. This is good because we can say the most awful racist homophobic things and nobody has a clue what we are talking about. Those carpet dusters - bastards , cause all the trouble in the world.
