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.

Get the Political Correctnessmug. A phrase that alt-right assholes use when told that they're being an asshole when they call someone a nigger.
Fox news viewer: Those filthy BLM people are a bunch of niggers.
Guy: that's racist
Fox news viewer: I'm so sick of your Political correctness you snowflake.

Get the Political correctnessmug. An accusation typically used by right-wing bigots to describe behavior that shows plain, common decency directed towards individuals or groups against whom, in the past, they have felt free to discriminate without repercussions (i.e. gays; women; racial, ethnic, or religious minorities; etc.) but that has more and more in recent years become the socially accepted norm.
"What? You're mad at me for calling her a fat, n****r, dyke, c*nt? Hey, sorry if you were offended! I forgot we all have to be 'politically correct' now!"

Get the Politically Correctmug. "We can't have movies like Blazing Saddles, or shows like Monty Python of Beavis & Butthead because of political correctness!! >.< watch, if I put up some movie with fucked-up humor, it'll be taken off not because it's racist or stupid or anything, but because of politics!!! >_<"
