Political correctness is absurd. Yet it is such a strong force in today’s world.
Our own government does this too. So many Christmas parades and celebrations have deleted the word “Christmas” from the titles. The war on terror is an “overseas contingency operation”. We can’t talk about “Islamic terror” under this administration. There are endless pressures to change nicknames of sports teams which are named for Indian tribes.
I guess the point is that, in spite of how absurd some of these things sound, after an initial period of discussion of how stupid this gets, the changes demanded by political correctness stay, and politically correct names and descriptions become the only allowed expressions.
