I absolutely agree. As the US has become vastly more tolerant over the last 50 years, many groups that have historically been targets of bullying and prejudice have gone too far the other direction and are now doing the bullying. More and more, even innocent mistakes made in public are used by these groups as rallying cries to further promote divisive and destructive behavior and attitudes. GLAAD and NAACP have both been repeatedly guilty of this.

What none of these groups realize about these over-the-top reactions to relatively minor PC infractions is that they are painting themselves as huge liabilities. No one wants to do business with or employ someone that is just waiting to pounce on any perceived slight against them. That will unfairly cost members of the groups economic opportunities, which is the exact opposite of their stated goals.
