Political Correct(l)ess

Thanks to mentecaptus for the heading.

I thought things were bad when the city of Hull decided that the expression "Ladies" (as in "Ladies and gentleman") is politically incorrect and Christmas lights were switched off, only to be switched on again as "Winter lights".

But (should I act surprised here...?) Germany has beaten the Britons. Claudia Roth, leader of the Green party (green stands for opportunistic here), has just made clear that, as opposed to immigrants, we're not Germans - we're non-immigrants. German is offensive to those who are not.
