Only because the forum rules dictate otherwise and because saying "I would cross the street because of a group of chavs" is a socially acceptable thing to say. If you think it's because nobody here is thinking it, you're naive.

In principle her suggestions and notions weren't bad - she was anti-racism but she became more and more ridiculous, culminating at one point where the black guy sitting next to her spoke up about peoples' initial reactions to him in the street "...as a black man". When RK-S turned to her for an opinion she turned to the guy and said "Well I didn't even realise you were black".
There was a member on here once called "HatedByTheMail", he used to stumble over himself trying to show how PC he was, and one time some topic turned to 'chavs' and wanting to show how 'totally' non-judgemental and anti-labelling he was, when asked what he though of chavs he replied "I honestly don't know what that word means".
Quite.

I'm not sure what the above is. Is it a rebuttal to anything I said?
I think you're cherry picking to deliberately misrepresent what being "PC" is. Political correctness is a good thing. Most people who are "anti-PC" are just people who are upset that their prejudices are no longer socially acceptable.
