Word problems with a political or social agenda, which often reveals racial, religious, or societal divisions, or which exposes discrimination or prejudice against those from a different country, continent, caste, tribe, gender, lifestyle, race, religion, or belief.
Two political math classics in the recreational math literature, which condones bigotry and racism are:
1. A Turkish bath has 30 visitors in a day. The fee for Jews is 3 dirhams, for Christians 2 dirhams, and for Muslims 1/2 dirham. Thirty dirhams were earned by the bath. How many Christians, Jews, and Muslims attended?
2. A sinking ship must cast off passengers to survive. There are 15 Christians and 15 Turks aboard. The captain, himself a Christian, arranges the passengers in a circle where every ninth person will be thrown overboard. How should he make the arrangement so that the Christians survive?

Get the Political Math mug.Persuading people to support a politician or initiative through the use of catchphrases, broad/short statements or simply selling the idea that people need to belong to a political party while depending on the target audience laziness not to do any actual research to see if the politician or initiative has any outstanding flaws that will burn them.
The frenzy increases around elections and can be easily spotted in message boards when people try to turn any news article into a political statement even if it really has nothing to do with politics.

Do you really think your Beliefs are in jeopardy depending on who is in office? You need to stop buying into the bumper sticker politics you see on the road and actually read unbiased articles instead.

Get the sodomize political correctness mug.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.

Get the Political Science mug.A tactic used by neoliberal Democrats to smear Progressives/Social Democrats as 'racists', 'misogynists', 'white supremacists' or a combination of all three. Ever since Bernie Sanders neutralized the term, 'socialist', neoliberal Democrats can no longer effectively red-bait their left-wing opponents, so they have weaponized identity politics against the Left that legitimately gives a shit about social justice. Neoliberal identity politics has largely been bolstered by ignorant, young upper-middle class "intersectional feminists" who smear anyone who criticizes Hillary from the left as "sexist".
Progressive: Man, urban poverty would really be a lot better if we stopped electing neoliberal Democrats like Hillary who keep cutting social programs and deregulating the banks that destroyed the economy in 2008.
Tumblr Feminist: WHICH OF HILLARY'S POLICIES?? I'VE NEVER HEARD YOU CRITICIZE ANY OF THESE OTHER SO-CALLED NEOLIBERALS! YOU'RE A SEXIST!
Progressive: Yep, that's neoliberal identity politics for ya.
