It is not PC to imply that people are not all equal and identical,
despite the obvious truth of this fact.

Nicely put.
Which is why PC is bullshit. Though I guess it's not PC to claim that...

no doubt. All the heat may also be an invitation for a siesta or a quick visit
to the beach or the local river. All of which is aggravated by the fact that a
global capitalist society demands europe-fashioned business suits everywhere, be
it cold or warm...
OTOH, I guess aside from farmers, programmers around the world still put about
the same amount of work everywhere. Isolated from the weather by air
conditioning, the most heat we experience is from the CPU and our brains...

It implies that different cultures are different. According to PC,
everything must be the same, identical, uniform, equal. To suggest that
people or cultures have differences is blasphemy.

Cr*p!
It is saying that different cultures are inferior that is wrong not that
they are different.

You know that. I know that. But as far as politics is concerned, merely
implying "different" automatically means "different in a negative way".
Because, let's face it, difference is always negative, isn't it?
Stupid, really...

Harsher climate forces people to be more hard-working and responsible,
which strengthens the sense of duty. It also usually results in people
being more amicable with their neighbors because everyone's survival is
important to the community as a whole.
In a more temperate climate, where there's no such an urgency in getting
things done before and during winter, people tend to be lazier and less
responsible, and procrastination is common.
Of course since saying this is not PC, most people will automatically
disagree.
