Is it ever really corrected though? Bigots don't tend to repent.

If not offending minorities is important, and to some degree it certainly is, then it'll be easy to convince everyone of that importance using ideas.

Oh really? So all minorities have to do to convince racists that racism is wrong is use the power of ideas? Man, it's too bad you weren't around a few hundred years earlier. We could have had this all sorted out a long time ago.

EDIT: Have you actually sought sources for black voices (blogs, articles, etc.) where these ideas may be being discussed beyond the whole "everyone is too PC" narrative you've decided to settle on?

I am really, really starting to despise my own side of the political spectrum. Actually, I'm starting to suspect it's been entirely hijacked at the youth level. It used to be that the conservatives were the ones obsessed with controlling the behaviours of other people - stop sleeping with certain people, stop watching violent TV or playing violent video games, enjoying sex is immoral and you should be pure and nun-like, etc. Now religious justifications for those sorts of authoritarian dicta are out of fashion, so we're going to justify our urge to control other people under the new guise of political correctness or safe spaces or whatever term you'd like to use.

Just shamefully illiberal fascistic behavior.

Yawn. Anyways, I'm super happy for the "edgy" white dudes who have had their views on the "PC-nazis" validated by a cartoon written by a couple of libertarians.
