I think the one "guilty" of political correctness is you, who seems to be
advocating that condemning the Japanese politicians being in favor of gang
rape and sexism is somehow politically incorrect because it doesn't
recognize the liberal dogma of equal value for all belief systems. After
all, it is you, who is defending those politicians from "Western" criticism.
