At one time racial slurs were commonplace (intended or otherwise), but these days the majority of people wouldn't feel comfortable saying them in a public place (even if they thought them).

What was once thought of as 'looney left' PC nonsense is now broadly the norm.

I do agree that it can go too far though, such as avoiding saying that someone is dead by saying they are vertically challenged!
