Hi and welcome to the poll board,
For your poll suggestion to be considered, you need to add a link in your list that leads back to this thread:

Thanks, Jessica. I'm still trying to understand out how the system works, so I appreciate the advice. I can't see an edit feature - should I re-submit the poll suggestion with said changes made? I've added the link to the list on IMDb, but I don't know how to change the text above on this page.

Ariel,
May I suggest that you simply copy this entire text into your list, to make the link clickable:

Once someone responds to your post here on GS, you can't edit it anymore. Only a user with admin rights can edit posts.
The link above is only necessary to have in your list, not here in this thread.

Ah, excellent - I understand now, thanks again.

Welcome Ariel. Great idea for a poll.
Here are some other groups you could add to your list:
Jewish people
Disabled people
Hispanics
Lower class groups ("poor white trash", untouchables, homeless, etc.)
Mentally disabled
Native groups (Native Americans, First Nations, Aborigines, Maori, etc.)
Albinos
Plus sized people
Atheists

Thanks very much - the poll now reflects your input. Much appreciated. Poll-making isn't as hard as I thought it might be!
I think it's a real interessting poll that catches me at one time. Why not disabled or mentaly disabled? At Nazi-Germany there were so many disabled, who were killed by Euthanasia. I as a german should choose jews. Even just because what Germany all-in-all did to them. But I'm tried to pick the natives, that were treated even more bad than black people (in U.S.) and worldwide!
Ok, so I picked the Natives.

I'm not sure the "couldn't care less" option really helped the purpose of the poll... most IMDb or Internet users are generally against "forced diversity quotas" which they perceive as PC (or lobbying) matters. That said, some would fairly consider that a few minorities are objectively under-represented. Being against quotas isn't really incompatible with having an opinion on the subject but if you add a "couldn't care less" option, you just force their hand.
Yeah, I basically was interested in finding out how many people were generally irritated by the ongoing PC in films, and how many actually lobbied for it. Do you have any alternatives to sugggest (I'm not sure if it's too late to edit the poll, now that it's up)?
Well, your two subjects of interest are interesting but if you wanted to get to such a binary result (how many pro? how many against?) then you could have made it a Face-Off suggestion. I think it's too late because you can't remove an option... I think a majority of users are irritated by PC but that doesn't mean PC is always wrong.
Yes, I think you're right about that majority. Looks like it's going to win by a lot! Thanks for the suggestion, in any case; sorry I couldn't use your advice.
Thank you for the "Couldn't Care Less" option, and I think the fact that it is leading by a landslide is telling.
