Entirely depends on what part of the country / world you are in.
Growing up in Cali I had been verbally berated by PC zombies my whole life. When I was in highschool got called out by PC people for using the word "crackhead" while describing how I molested by crackheads as a kid. Literally no one cared about how morally abhorrent it was that these lovely "crack addicted people" were molesting children. You see, I was a monster for calling them crackheads instead of crack addicted people.
This happened to me when I was 17 and I was like "Holy shit, gotta move out of San Francisco, it's getting peak retarded here," and I am very glad I did. Oops, sorry, not peak retarded, I mean the politically correct term for whatever self induced retardation/indoctrination is.
But NOW, now that I am traveling and seeing the world, I have interactions like this one just yesterday in the South. Hanging with my bros and a beautiful woman/dealer, I asked her like I would be shot for asking, "Excuse me, you are very beautiful and I have to ask, please don't be offended, but where is your family from?" She answered, but right after all my southern bros burst out laughing like "Why did you ask her race like you'd get shot for asking it? You didn't have to be so fuckin polite,' to which I responded "LOL no I did, I am from the west coast where you can get cancelled just for asking someone's ethnic background, even if you're just politely trying to get to know them."
There's a dumbassed divisive culture war going on but all is not lost to the SJW Karens, just get out more and hold your ground when they are full of utter bullshit. They're literally just punishing other people so they can feel better about themselves with their fake ass virtue hoarding. Don't let them.
