@ RT: Difference frightens people. Always has - as we know from any historical reading. Today there is *so* much difference everywhere and so much uncertainty it's not so surprising that so many people are afraid for the future.
@ Stephen: It does appear that things like Political Correctness (or whatever you want to call it) rules the roost at the moment. Saying or doing anything that is considered even potentially offensive is jumped on with size 10 boots. You can't even debate things. It's just not open for discussion. We do seem to have lost the ability for rational debate.
