Rooster, the answer to your Q is YES, the PC stuff is getting out of hand...
I saw yesterday where a commentator assigned to do the broadcast of a ball game in Virginia, well he was removed from that assignment, and it was because of his name!
Apparently he was of Asian ancestry, and his last name was Lee...and his first name? Well it is Robert!
And it was felt that a ballgame announcer in Virginia with the name of Robert Lee, that might offend someone...
