y'see that's not what I would call political correctness at all.. that is what the (right wing as I see them) like to label political correctness as.
My view of political correctness is simply avoiding labelling people in such a way as to offend.
i.e.
Not calling a black person a nigger
Not calling a Jew a Yid
Not calling an irishman a Paddy
Not calling a mentally disabled person a retard
Not calling mexican a beaner
Not calling a white person a honky
etc...etc...
This is simply because these labels have connotations which are not representative of that which they label.
The problem is that the political right trot out the 'Political correctness' line as a derogatory label every time someone takes issue with their bigotry.
funny that..
