And it goes back to my original arguement, that political correctness does indeed swing both ways.

What, would you contend, is the purpose of 'political correctness'?

[Clemenza]

The purpose of political correctness is “social control” and “inner harmony” among the populace. It is an elite movement, largely supported by women.

What, would you contend, is the purpose of 'political correctness'?

To not offend others.

Let me clarify what it is, though Political correction is the withholding of statements or comments that another party might deem or perceive as offensive. Or to make statements or comments and omit certain comments that another party might deem or perceive as offensive.

I'm not saying whether it is good or bad. Just that minorities are held to it as well. That it isn't only white males that have to concern themselves with who they offend. White Americans, typically would worry about being branded racists when conveying a political view. Minorities typically would worry about being branded unpatriotic when conveying a political view.

So, I believe PC swings both ways.
