What it all boils down to is shame. Liberals are doing a damn good job of shaming everyone into silence.
I bet she'll carry her "islamaphobia" with pride from here on out.

If you are not racist, why care if someone calls you one? Calling me a racist will get you laughed at.

People keep saying this, but no one wants to back it up.
What precedent is there to have a major lawsuit against you if you report suspicious activity?

Fear of words! Political correctness is killing us. Maybe that's the game plan.
If you think Islam is a creepy religion, well....you're an Islamaphobe. If you call a black criminal a thug...well, you're racist. If you want homosexuals to have legal civil unions but not called marriage...well, you're homophobe. It goes on and on and on. These PC police are the REAL bullies.

What a load of crap.
This is just someone who didn't have any conviction, made a poor decision, which most assuredly was comprised of many more determining factors than fear of being called racist unless the person is a flat-out idiot, and is now trying to get some attention and this is either all they could blurt out or all the* media picked up on.

Or is just saying that now since people are going to wonder why nothing was said.
Who would have accused her of racism? The people she called to report them?
No one else would have known.

30+ more bloody casualties of political correctness were just added to the rosters yesterday.
FEAR of being called "racist" prevented Farook's neighbor from stopping his murderous rampage which left 14 people dead, before it had a chance to happen.
The neighbor decided it was best to avoid being labeled a racist...and kept her mouth shut;choosing NOT to report the suspicious activity she saw next door to the police. WHY?...Because they happened to be Muslims.
Thank you Progressives, for helping to make the world safer for terrorism to prosper and succeed unimpeded.
According to a local Los Angeles news report, a neighbor of San Bernardino massacre suspects Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik didn't report suspicious activity at their apartment for fear of being accused of racism.
This is the same politically correct culture that lead to the Ft. Hood shooting when Nidal Hassan, who had been spouting violent Islamic propaganda to neighbors on post and reaching out to Al Qaeda, was ignored for fear of "Islamaphobia" accusations.
The warning signs were all there: the justification of homicide bombings; the spewing of anti-American hatred; the efforts to reach Al Qaeda ...

But the U.S. military treated Major Nidal Malik Hasan with kid gloves, even after giving him a poor performance review. And though he was on the radar screen of at least one U.S. intelligence agency, no action was taken that might have prevented the Army psychiatrist from allegedly gunning down 13 people and wounding 29 others in the Fort Hood massacre last week.
See something, say something, is dead.

Not everyone is strong enough to stand up to the PC crowd. Fortunately for me I don't care about being PC. I hate being 'shushed'.
