This community has the same problem as every community in the nation. Fear of being judged politically Incorrect. Some places have a larger contingent of outspoken people but the community as a whole, suffers like the rest.
Silence isn't golden when it's caused by a gag. I truly believe this PC bullshit is the biggest gag this country has seen since we stopped burning witches. Happily it doesn't extend to the Cellar.

"The white man and the black man have to be able to sit down at the same table. The white man has to feel free to speak his mind without hurting the feelings of that Negro. And the so-called Negro has to feel free to speak his mind without hurting the feelings of the white man. Then they can bring the issues that are under the rug out on top of the table and take an intelligent approach to solving the problem."

--Malcolm X, 1964

Right on, Malcom! I wish more people would take that to heart and stop being so damned PC. If they're afraid to say it to your face, they'll say it behind your back, and that does nobody any good.

I'd be willing to bet that it wasn't anything with a hyphen.
