No. Not at all. It's never bad to follow your gut instincts. The PC-crowd can get over it. They should be 'tolerant' and 'celebrate your diversity'.

When it is used for any kind of application for funding, grants, loans, employment, tuition, food stamps....yes, it is wrong. But when it's used to judge the safety of a situation along with actions, attire, behavior, then no...it isn't wrong, it is just natural instinct.
