'Before I greet you, I would first like to apologize if greetings offend your race/ religion/ culture.
Secondly, I would like to apologize if apologies offend your race/ religion/ culture..'
Sometime later we may approach something that resembles saying 'hello'.
That is, if you don't slip up and say something the listener decides to be offended by.

This is
not the kind of world we want to live in, where
thinking is a crime and every word you say is being measured against an ever - increasing no - go list of words and phrases.
Or else.
By saying this, I am
not indirectly suggesting that people should go around deliberately trying to offend people.
All I am saying is that if we don't find a way to challenge this Political Correctness brainwashing which seems to be infecting common speech, Freedom of Speech will become a thing of the past, and this could be our future:
