If you’re a fan of actor Clint Eastwood then you would know he isn’t afraid of a little bit of controversy and being politically incorrect.
Political correctness is something that Eastwood, like many Baby Boomers, has spoken out against in the past.
This time he brought up the subject while talking about his controversial 1971 film Dirty Harry.
“A lot of people thought it was politically incorrect,” he told a crowd during a speech at a Cannes Film Festival event.
“That was at the beginning of the era that we’re in now, where everybody thinks everyone’s politically correct.
“We’re killing ourselves by doing that. We’ve lost our sense of humour.”
No doubt there are many over-60s who would agree with what the 86-year-old actor had to say.
Last year he drew plenty of debate when describing today’s generation as a “pussy generation”.
“Everybody’s walking on eggshells,” he said.
“We see people accusing people of being racist and all kinds of stuff.
“When I grew up, those things weren’t called racist. Secretly everybody’s getting tired of political correctness, kissing up.”
