The other problem is... some people get all worked up about it and it leaves others (me for example) wondering what all the fuss is about.
At its extremes I think we'd all be in agreement or I hope we would.
At the lower reaches of it e.g. humour, I couldn't give two hoots and suspect there are many that think likewise.
The bottom line is IMO a 'cry wolf' syndrome..you bleat on about it too much and for trivia, it switches people off .. when there are times more awareness is needed.
Same for all the 'isms'.
