The problems is that they've never had any self-respect so they can't be
expected to ever have respect for anyone else. We still hope that they learn
what it means one day so they will finally deserve the respect they so
desperately want and need, and in turn, will learn to respect all others.

The only challenge with dealing with people who have no self-respect is that you
will somehow have to try to retain your own dignity and self-respect, while the
non-politically-correct who lack those things will desperately try to rob you of
them.

You could call "political correctness" the more apparent meaning of "respect for
others", but they still wouldn't be able to figure it out. Those who fail to
understand this most basic of human principles have never been too intelligent.
