When that one Indian fellow mentioned that it took only six to man the Black Pearl, both 'teams' realized that they had six in their numberâ making the guys in the 'other' cage superfluous.
I just couldn't decide whether the awkward pause both sides exchanged was because they'd realized that they could take the Black Pearl for themselves ("...Pirates code: any man who falls behindâ is left behind"); or there came the realization that one of these teams had just become the expendable "redshirts" doomed to die for the entertainment of the gods (namely, the audience watching the movie).
Political Correctness is the idea that you can foster tolerance in a diverse world through the intolerance of anything that strays from a clinical standard.
