I'm also tired of America trying so hard to be "politically correct". We're pretty much the only country in the world that worries about it. I've had multiple German exchange students, Aussie friends, and some English friends tell me how racist they were, and all the things that they hate about the race and why. Yet, the stereotype is that I'M racist...
Lolno. Political correctness is going just as strong in most developed European countries and assumably in Australia&New Zealand too. UK is becoming like an Orwellian state because of political correctness (not to mentiong things like gun control and surveilance)

Islam is growing rapidly in many European countries
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/c ... e-2010.svg while the US is still mostly christian, so there's a lot more political correctness related to the issue in Europe (people getting thrown to jail for criticizing islam in their blogs and so on)
2%-4% (Italy, Luxembourg, Norway, Serbia, Slovenia, Spain)
4%-5% (Denmark, Greece, Liechtenstein, United Kingdom)
5%-10% (Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland)
10%-20% (Bulgaria, Georgia, Montenegro, Russia)

Another note, why is there the double standard that America needs to have open immigration, while places like Luxembourg are practically impossible to move to?
As of 2000, there were 162,000 immigrants in Luxembourg, accounting for 37% of the total population. There were an estimated 5,000 illegal immigrants, including asylum seekers, in Luxembourg as of 1999.[83]

Again, the "open immigration" thing applies to pretty much of all of Western countries. Europe, Canada, Australia and America need to be more diverse but no one cares about South Korea and Japan[*] because they are Asian countries. You don't really see people demanding that African and Asian countries should be more diverse and have more white people living there. I think that most leftists dont have a problem if an African person says "Africa for Africans" because he/she wants to protect African culture, natural resources and economy. Nor do most people have a problem if a Japanese person says that he/she wants that Japan remains homogenous because he/she wants to preserve Japanese culture. It's usually a different story when a person from a rich white country says the same thing

South Korea is one of the most ethnically homogeneous societies in the world, with more than 99% of inhabitants having Korean ethnicity.[129] Koreans call their society 단일민족국가, Dan-il minjok guk ga, "the single race society".
Japanese society is linguistically and culturally homogeneous,[147] composed of 98.5% ethnic Japanese,[148] with small populations of foreign workers.[147] Zainichi Koreans,[149] Zainichi Chinese, Filipinos, Brazilians mostly of Japanese descent,[150] and Peruvians mostly of Japanese descent are among the small minority groups in Japan.[151]
