PC for Everyone, Even If They Don't Care

We keep hearing that today's youth aren't hung-up on the political correctness of their parents' generation. Here's a good piece of anecdotal evidence:

Students voting on superlatives – a staple of yearbooks for decades – elected Richards as "Most Whipped" by his girlfriend, using the slang term for a person who is controlled by another in a relationship. The accompanying photo shows Richards, who is black, on a leash held by Melissa Finley, who is white.
Another photo, of the winners of the "Most Likely To Be On Jerry Springer" category, features a male student pretending to be on the verge of hitting a female with the back of his hand.

Of course, the older generation is holding the yearbooks back, pending consideration of a recall.

Relax, folks, the kids were just having fun. Let's not ruin their senior year over it.
