The politically incorrect Prince Phillip

Prince Phillip is the 96 year old consort of Queen Elizabeth. He's known for many things, but he has a staunchly politically incorrect sense of humor and it's gotten him in trouble once again. He made another un-pc comment and the easily offended have (not surprisingly) jumped down his throat.

The dude is 96 years old. Give him a break. We live in a society that loves, absolutely loves to pounce on anyone who says anything that we are "offended" by. I am convinced that people like being offended because it shows others how wonderful moral they think they are. They pat themselves on the back and say "Look at me, I'm offended! I'm outstanding and deserve praise for standing up for my morals!" The right does this when they get they shorts in an uproar over Disney showing a gay character. The left goes this when they go into cardiac arrest if someone who is 96 (!) makes a politically incorrect comment. 

Prince Phillip is from a different era. He grew up in a time period where certain words and phrases are more morally acceptable than they would be today. No, that doesn't mean he's a racist and no, you aren't Ghandi for calling him out on the terminology he uses. It might be rude or uncouth by todays standards but people seriously need to give the guy a break.
