[QUOTE]Originally posted by badly_behaved_badger: [QB] I think in some situations, political correctness has gone over the top. People are getting paranoid! I mean, my mum's friend is a social worker and she was recently told by her boss that it is racist to sing 'bah bah black sheep', so you have to sing 'bah bah white sheep' instead. I totally disagree with this! 1. This song is talking about SHEEP not people. 2. Replacing the word 'black' with 'white', could offend white people. Ok, I know it wouldn't, but that's my point - it's stupid. So, if they decide that we can't say either 'black' or 'white' because it could offend people we'll end up singing 'bah bah magenta sheep...' Hey, that's quite catchy!!! Anyway, what do you think about this - has it gone too far? Have you come across any other examples? [/QB][/QUOTE]
