[QUOTE="Malika, post: 541166, member: 11227"] Another thought-provoking post, SuZir :) I too am very wary of political correctness, which in some cases is like a kind of fascism, banning all reflection, all presentation of opposing views on certain issues, etc. In this particular, case, though, I don't think it was respectful or sensitive to have a clearly mentally retarded character labelled autistic, particularly in a culture where there is a lot of stereotyping of people with differences already. A difficult balance to achieve though, I agree. [/QUOTE]
