PC or Not PC?

I recently came to the realization that Mike may be more politically correct than I thought.  This may shock you, given what he has written on this very blog in the past.  However, consider the following examples:
  • When Mike's dad first met Carter as a two-month-old, Carter was a cute, chubby baby.  Mike's dad affectionately called him a sumo wrestler.  Mike told his dad to stop being a racist and just call Carter fat.
  • Carter is at the age where he'll do anything to reach a desired object, including throwing himself out of my arms or face planting to the ground, so I like to say he's my little kamikaze baby.  Mike immediately responds by saying this is racist, because if Carter were not half-Asian, we would instead call him reckless, adventurous, and strong.
But then again, this is coming from the same guy who suggested that our children dress up as Kim Jong Il and Kim Jong Un (the infamous former and current North Korean Presidents) for Halloween and has also encouraged Cameron to pursue short track speed skating as his sport of choice.  So you be the judge.
