1. The Hipforums announces it first ever fundraiser. After nearly 30 years online, we must ask our members and guests to help support the website. Thanks to years of ongoing financial support of our members, advertisers and volunteer admin staff, we have been able to keep the forums alive.

    Now we must ask for help as available funds have all been used for our Internet server and other fees.

    So please donate any amount to our PayPal account donate@Hipforum.com to keep the site going. If we can get enough for a few months fees, we won't need to nag you again!

    You could also subscribe to the forums and get an upgrade to Supporter or Lifetime Supporter here

    You can dismiss this message by clicking on the X in the upper right corner.

    Thanks! The Hipforums Staff

    But a lot of it is a myth made up by the media. It might happen in a few places but there aren't really that many instances of blackboards being renamed chalkboards. I'm studying a 'typically' left wing subject at Uni and none of that shit happens on my course.

    Very true. I've yet to encounter a single example of this sort of extreme PC in the real world. The media will usually seize on one extreme example and blow it out of all proportion.

    Yeah, and like I suggested earlier, in a lot of cases I get the impression that some anti-PC people are against it (Pso called political correctness) because they don't want to change their prejudiced ways.
