Dirty Harry Says Screw Political Correctness

Recently Clint Eastwood took a few swipes at the popular philosophy of
"political correctness".
Not that he had to do anything beyond his work to get my attention.
Clint Eastwood in an interview with the German magazine Der Spiegel suggested that modern society lives in a state of fear over the possibility of being labeled racist for telling jokes based on ethnicity or nationality.

"People have lost their sense of humor. In former times we constantly made jokes about different races. You can only tell them today with one hand over your mouth otherwise you will be insulted as a racist. "

"I find that ridiculous. In those earlier days every friendly clique had a 'Sam the Jew' or 'Jose the Mexican' -- but we didn't think anything of it or have a racist thought. It was normal that we made jokes based on our nationality or ethnicity. That was never a problem."

"I don't want to be politically correct. We're all spending too much time and energy trying to be politically correct about everything."

We see examples all the time of where organized political groups and advocates, created a real need, morph into a union-like gateway mentality as the bearers of responsibility for the feelings of all their brethren. From this we see the hyperbole of men like Al Sharpton, creating riots and causing death, over false claims.
As kids ethnic jokes were the most fun, and they hit all parties.
Please bring back the dumb Italian and Pedro jokes.
Thank you Clint.
