Then perhaps you should learn its history, common use, and intent.

    You mean this? noun: political correctness; noun: political correctitude the avoidance, often considered as taken to extremes, of forms of expression or action that are perceived to exclude, marginalize, or insult groups of people who are socially disadvantaged or discriminated against. Yeah, I am aware. Google is amazing. Thank you for your suggestion. Are you aware that Republicans and Democrats have never particularly liked each other, but survey data going back to the 1970s show that on average, their mutual dislike used to be surprisingly mild? Negative feelings have grown steadily stronger, however, particularly since the early 2000s. Political scientists call this process “affective partisan polarization,” and it is a very serious problem for any democracy. As each side increasingly demonizes the other, compromise becomes more difficult. A recent study shows that implicit or unconscious biases are now at least as strong across political parties as they are across races. Edited for spelling.

  • No, I did not mean that, and your Google-fu is poor if that is what you pulled out.

  • Just pulled the common definition for you as a point of reference. The rest was just a little food for thought. Consider it it the context of your original post. Or don't. I suppose it doesn't matter either way.

  • If you saw that as the context, then your understanding of political correctness and its history is even worse than I thought.

  • Context to your definition and history of the term as you understand it. Of course your interpretation is by no means the only interpretation, but I am assuming you believe it to be correct? Maybe that's something worth exploring; why you would speak with such certainty that yours is the only correct interpretation of the term?
