These days we are outraged about ******* everything. See the yellow peril thread. Easter eggs are sold without 'Easter' marketing. Schools don't celebrate Christmas for fear of offending someone. I was a kid in the 1990s. If you didn't celebrate Christmas or Easter then you didn't celebrate them. The onus wasn't on everyone else to abandon cultural traditions for fear of someone's feelings getting hurt.
Stop watching tabloid rubbish designed to get you outraged. Easter eggs are still called easter eggs.
The yellow peril phrase is racist, and should not have been used.
What the #politicalcorrectnessgonemad (TM) crew all seem to have in common is an unease that Australia is becoming more diverse, and that is something they can not change.
If you criticise anyone that isn't a white, straight, middle class male for anything then someone, somewhere will get on their soapbox and drag race, sex, gender, sexuality, religion etc. into it. It's tiresome and absolutely stifles debate.
Hang on. You brought race, gender and sexuality in to it in the first sentence of your argument.
