1. The practice of avoiding words or phrases that are associated with stereotypes and unsupported assumptions about groups of people, or that inadvertently reinforce them. See sexism, racism. 2. A term used by conservatives who want to complain when people complain about their sexist, racist or otherwise bigoted remarks, often with the suggestion that the offended person has no right to express their own opinion. See: dog whistle, see: free speech is a two way street.
1. We prefer the term "Native American" instead of "Indian" because it is both historically accurate and shows respect their much longer presence in this country.
2. Female executives are fine, except they all need a really good executive assistant one week a month. If you don't think that's funny, you are just being "politically correct."

A phrase taken from Mao's Little Red Book to describe terminology that is considered politically expedient.
Understood from a Western perspective as having the same connotation as the term Double Speak in George Orwell's novel 1984, which was written as a criticism of Communism at a time when Western powers were still allied with the USSR.
This western application of the term is often misused by uneducated morons in America to justify their refusal (or inability) to learn basic concepts, correct terminology, accepted behavior or even rudimentary spelling and grammar.

"I'd like a cheeseburger with a side of politically correct Freedom fries".
During World War I, referring to German measles as Liberty Measles was considered politically correct.

Distortion of the truth. Since so many people do not believe in the existence of truth, many fail to understand PC and become manipulated by activists who impose PC on others.
We can't say that a man and woman married to each other are husband and wife. We now have to call them "partners". This is Political Correctness.

A phrase that alt-right assholes use when told that they're being an asshole when they call someone a nigger.

Fox news viewer: I'm so sick of your Political correctness you snowflake.
