> "oh we have to be politically correct in any fing way to avoid lawsuits"

Let's parse this out a little more. "We must act to avoid lawsuits." Or put another way, "We must not do things for which we might be sued." Or put another way, "We must, individually, avoid the risk of making people uncomfortable here at their place of work where they are contractually obligated to be so that they will not sue us and win."

Some of you may know this concept as fascism.
