Tom Brokaw Was Offensive?

Tom Brokaw was offensive?  Really?

We've gone way too far with this political correctness.  It has gotten to the point any comment one makes that may be different from yours is 'offensive.'

Maybe this is the greater question. Do all cultures assimilate when they move to the US? Did folks coming into the US from England assimilate?  How about the Chinese?  Japanese?  African-Americans?  Did your family assimilate?

English was our spoken language after we destroyed Native American culture. I admit it is frustrating to have to push #1 for English when trying to access a business on the phone.  It is frustrating to speak to people in other cultures with strong accents.  It is getting easier now.  It always does.

Both sides need to work harder when new folks come into our culture.  I would hope we would welcome them.

Let's get off Brokaw's back.  This is just plain silly.  To do otherwise is to severely limit one's free speech and the liberal/so called progressive types are going over-board on this. Way over-board.  It's becoming like an auto-immune disease, one that continually attacks itself. You're reading way too much into this.

Tom Brokaw offense?  Hardly.
