Don't kid yourself, speaking is an action. What you say does mean alot.
Unfortunately, people take words directed towards them way too
seriously--it's the animal within us. You say that you don't believe in
PC, but if I started throwing words like "bitch", "ho", or "dyke" in your
direction, you'd probalbly demand more sensitivity from me in some form or
fashion. I wouldn't care one way or the other what you call me; "honkey",
"whitey", "nut" wouldn't ever bother me. 
Sure, I think the world would be a much friendlier place if people weren't
such crybabies about the English language, but I'm also convinced I'm one
of the only people who is willing to fully implement such beliefs.
