political correctness

A bloated, circumlocutory and wholly American attempt at relieving the white man's burden; a struggle to find polite terminology for whichever group feels slighted that day and needs a hug. Tricks the unwitting into referring to Somalian nationals as "African-Americans."

How can you call them "black people"? That's not politically correct!

Politically Incorrect

Political correctness is America's newest form of intolerance, and it is especially pernicious because it comes disguised as tolerance. It presents itself as fairness, yet attempts to restrict and control people's language with strict codes and rigid rules. I'm not sure that's the way to fight discrimination. I'm not sure silencing people or forcing them to alter their speech is the best method for solving problems that go much deeper than speech. - George Carlin, 2004

1) I don't think that trans-women should compete in women's sports because it defeats the point of Title IX.

You can't say that!

Why don't we talk about it? It's my honest thought.

It's not a debate!

Who decides that?

You just can't say that! It's politically incorrect!
