I like to follow a statement like that up with: What exactly did you want to say that you can't anymore? Please give some specific examples.

While the sentiment sounds good on paper, in practice it far too often is someone complaining that you can't demand a black men to be lynched if they have a white girlfriend anymore because society has gone all woke.

There are lots of things that aren't 'PC' to say anymore and that doesn't mean society is failing. In fact I would argue that it is just plain old progress, especially when it is accompanied by a number of things that we can now say that used to be taboo.

Out with: "Gay people should be burned at the stake."

In with: "Contraception allows families to decide when to have children."
