The one friend who says the most offensive things you’ve ever heard come out of the mouth of anyone in your extended social circle, is also the most likely to help you when the going gets tough, new research has confirmed.
The study was commissioned by the independent sociology thinktank known as Researchers Examining Australian Loyalties, Liabilities, Interests, Friendships and Expectations (R.E.A.L.L.I.F.E).
A survey of thousands of Australians with a range of voter behaviours were interviewed to dissect the role political correctness plays in day-to-day life.
The results showed an overwhelming number of Australians agreeing, some reluctantly, that a person’s indifference to political correctness is usually a key indicator of their willingness to answer a phone call of someone in need.
“The results are no surprise” said lead researcher, professor Pauline Bandt.
“This isn’t to say that PC people aren’t helpful in a crisis. It’s just that politically incorrect people are more committed to making sure people are okay through actions as opposed to words.”
The study concluded that Australians who have not memorised what each letter stands for in the LGBTQIA+ acronym are also the most likely to help you carry water-damaged household items out of your living room during a weather disaster.
“They are also the most likely to intervene in situations where someone might be in harm’s way” said the Professor.
“Situations involving conflict, violence, or motor-vehicle disputes. They act faster than most because they don’t care about what would be the most diplomatic or sensitive way to act”
“Basically, if your child doesn’t come home from school on time, you are better off asking help from the neighbour who doesn’t know the difference between Filipino people and Chinese people. And doesn’t care that they don’t know”
“That’s the type of bloke that will gladly spend an evening indiscriminately interrogating strangers at bus stops and telling the cops to hurry their fucken tax-payer funded arses up”
While more politically correct Australians are recognised for their efforts in community organising campaigns such as stern letter writing and boycotts, the political incorrect are more likely to seek, and achieve immediate action through said political incorrectness and a lack of concern for personal reputation.
They also tend to own a lot of power tools, which can also be of great use during a disaster.
MORE TO COME.
