Usually not with impunity. That usually gets at least 5 or 6 conservatives in a tizzy. The hypocrisy bothers me too, but the people that get their knickers in a knot over "white trash" are the ones saying that "political correctness is evil."
And that's why it's not supressing anything.

It does suppress a great deal of speech. The difference here is that folks aren't quite comfortable in separating de facto speech parameters from de jure speech. Social suppression and legal suppression are merely two different (but possibly complimentary) tools for those who wish to suppress speech.
My only argument is that damn near everyone engages in it. Even those who are against "PC" argue for suppression of speech, whether they wish to suppress left-wing thought, or if they want freedom of thought and expression to be embraced (in the process: attempting to silence those who do not).
Neither of which is exclusive to or required by "Political Correctness." In general, it seems that those who rail against the notion take offense to the fact that it's becoming more and more difficult to be an asshole.
The most bigoted phrase you can use is "people like you."
No one is like you, or like me. We're unique individuals.
What say me ?
Political correctness is Marxism.
POLITICAL CORRECTNESS / CULTURAL MARXISM
>"America today is dominated by a system of beliefs, attitudes and values that we have come to know as “Political Correctness.” For many it is an annoyance and a self parodying joke. But Political Correctness is deadly serious in its aims, seeking to impose a uniformity of thought and behavior on all Americans. It is therefore totalitarian in nature. Its roots lie in a version of Marxism which sees culture, rather than the economy, as the site of class struggle.
Under Marxist economic theory, the oppressed workers were supposed to be the beneficiaries of a social revolution that would place them on top of the power structure. When these revolutionary opportunities presented themselves, however, the workers did not respond. The Marxist revolutionaries did not blame their theory for these failures; instead they blamed the “ruling class,” which had bought off the workers by giving them “rights,” and had blinded them with a “false consciousness” that led them to support national governments and liberal democracy.
One group of Marxist intellectuals resolved this apparent contradiction of Marxist theory by an analysis that focused on society’s cultural “superstructure” rather than on the economic “base” as Marx did. The Italian Marxist Antonio Gramsci and Hungarian Marxist Georg Lukacs contributed the most to this new cultural Marxism.
Among Marxists, Gramsci is noted for his theory that cultural hegemony is the means to class dominance. In his view, a new “Communist man” had to be created through a changed culture before any political revolution was possible. This led to a focus on the efforts of intellectuals in the fields of education and media..."<

Sans honesty and context, it may well be misconstrued as censorship. But then the more rational among us recognise that every last contentious statement is hardly productive.In case somebody needs refreshment of definitions:

if he's shouting down students, it sounds like he's probably just an asshole. i'm still ok with somebody being afraid to tell me racist jokes in public, though. people who do that are even bigger assholes than your teacher.

I didn't realize the two were mutually exclusive.
So why exactly can't we forbade the over the top racist jokes/comments, as well as shouting racism when race isn't a part of the discussion at hand? Both are bad for a free society because both are forms of intimidation.
how would we "forbid" them?
seems to work pretty well the way it is. if racist idiots spout racism, they get labeled as racist idiots, and then nobody gives a **** about anything else they have to say. works for me.
Don't forget:
trailer trash, white trash, hillbilly, redneck- any white person that lives in the South or votes Republican.
(Hey, if we're not going to be PC, it goes both ways.)
Those who rail against the concept of political correctness the most are generally those most guilty of it. I will give them the benefit of the doubt and not call them duplicitous, but they are at least blind to their own actions and motivations.
