How PC must warnings about unruly kids be?

A recent email from a security guard to the Downtown Partnership that used inflammatory language to describe a group of young people drew criticism. Was that concern about racial stereotyping justified or PC run amok? (Barbara Haddock Taylor / Baltimore Sun)

Let me get this straight: Before forwarding an email, one should censor it of any language that might be offensive to the extremely politically correct such as editors of The Sun, right (“Black kids as scavengers and predators,” April 19)?

Downtown hoodlums just happen to be black, so there is no need to identify their race, right? These thugs have nothing whatsoever to do with the continuing decline of Baltimore's population, right?

From now on, I will consult your editorial board to make sure I am not thinking, saying or writing anything that might offend the sensitivity of knee-jerk liberals.
