politically incorrectal self-exam

It appears i have three viewpoints that qualify as politically incorrect.
In no particular order...
1
If you were to assemble the hundred least-racist americans, would they have anything in common? As you looked over that enlightened assemblage, would any subtle unifying factors jump out?
You betcha.
They'd be white.
Every single one. How do i know?
Because white people grow up with the luxury of not knowing they're white, and indeed not knowing they're any color at all. Though all this is swiftly (in the big picture) changing, being white in America is normative. Therefore, white people are free to form their points of view from a cocoon of relative objectivity. Non-white folk on the other hand, whether subtly or grossly, have their skin color smacked into their faces virtually every day of their lives.
To wonder whether someone is racist is ridiculous. The answer is YES. Everyone is, in varying degrees.
Including, and especially, people of color.
White people are free to see racism impersonally, and hopefully become intellectually mortified. People of color carry around a blanket of anger/confusion/shame. Their anti-racism is a cry of pain, but visceral rage and objectivity are almost diametrically opposed.

Homosexuality/transsexuality are not as simple and inevitable as political correctness dictates. Preference and identity are genetic? Yes, i believe that's true...but in a limited way. Our personalities are profoundly shaped by the constant avalanche of social conditioning we receive from the moment we're born. We live in a culture of sexual repression, and one way this manifests is in how we provide adolescents zero sexual outlet (and often zero input as well). What happens to a humyn denied any expression of so powerful a drive as sex?
Nothing good.
Enter the word "maladaption", used so aptly by desmond morris. We often take our general adolescent sexual embargo and amplify it by keeping males and females apart in non-sexual contexts too. Different locker rooms/bathrooms, gym classes, sports/activities, camps, even schools. As any behavioral anthropologist will tell you, we bond with whatever's available. We imprint with whomever's around. Put anyone in a single-gender environment, and there's gonna be a whole lot of maladaptin' going on.
Baby, we were born that way?
Yes. And no.

There's an open mic i attend, with a host i love. One of his recurring intros is "Y'know what we need now? Some feminine energy. So let's bring up..."
I can't imagine ever sexually stereotyping a performer like that.
And yet...
Men and wimyn be different.
I've struggled with this one. Early on, i took the position that gender personality differences were purely cultural. And though that's largely true in the big picture, because all differences overlap...differences are real. And inborn. Wimyn are more verbal and social, men more thing-oriented. There are many fascinating differences, small and large. When are these differences a straitjacket to rebel against, and when are they something to accept, even celebrate? It's going to be decades before there's a comfortable answer to that question, because so much of our society is still enmeshed in patriarchal oppression and repression.
I'm not betraying the PC agenda. I was railing against gender-specific personal pronouns decades before it became popular...and still do.
Yet men and wimyn be different. Having seen maleness from the inside, i prefer the company of wimyn. Yet i know wimyn who prefer the company of men, and that's perhaps a valid response too.
I get the non-binary agenda. I celebrate it. Yet to a certain extent, this is a binary world and always will be, until we evolve past our current reproductive reality.
I often make an effort, in my art, to manifest non-binary language and attitudes. Other times, i go deeply binary, in my quest to make people see or laugh.
So...am i a PC hero? Anti-hero? Both? Who can tell...
