Language needs to be used carefully so as to accurately reflect the user's intent. Your use of a word like "uppidy (i.e. uppity)" puts you in the racist camp; if you don't want to be there, don't use that language. If you are in fact ignorant of the historical use and significance of this term, a little research on-line will enlighten you as to why this is considered racist language.
Remind me to add "Uppity" to PC felonious racist language. Thanks for adding it to the slander dictionary. Next word please. But thanks for the careful tip, lest I need PC re-programming and cultural sensitivity retraining. Uppity...sheesh!

"Feminazi" doesn't carry the historic weight of "uppity"; it is recent ugliness.
Historic weight? A pop-culture Term Du Jour?
Amazing.... You and old-skool PC are so friggin' toast when it finally comes to logger-heads. Keep pushing unrealistic Utopian ideology. Go global and go big. Or expect when cornered a serious reprisal.
