Politically Correct

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!"

"That lady told me I ought to chew with my mouth closed! It's political correctness gone wild , once again!"

"In a stunning show of political correctness gone wild, Group Z had the nerve to suggest that people who disagree with Policy X ought to be heard out!"
