MY FIRST EXPOSURE TO POLITICAL CORRECTNESS

Other than the obvious changes to my vocabulary that took me a long time to get used to. Like:
MAILMAN = MAILPERSON
MANHOLE COVER = PERSONHOLE COVER
LINEMAN = LINEPERSON
REPAIRMAN...ETC.
The two that really had me confused is, first
WHAT TO CALL BLACK PEOPLE.  In my lifetime, growing up in the South it went from Negroe, to Colored, to African- American, to The Brothers & The Sisters, to Black, to the N-Word.  I don't know if this is a PC issue or an Identification crisis.
The Second PC issue is what to call Gays. Again , growing up in the South, in my lifetime it has gone from, No one ever talking about it or acknowledging it existed, to Homosexual, to Homo, to Queer, to Gay. Why the transition. I don't know.
I would be interested in hearing from Gays about this, as well as Blacks. What do you think, is it P.C. or is it something else.
