Eh. Honestly it kind of bugs me the way the term "politically correct" is misused. What it meant, at least originally, was politicians cynically saying things in a way to appeal to the broadest possible base. Then conservatives got a hold of it and started using it as a stick to beat progressives with for believing in treating people equally. Now everyone, progressives included, seems to have bought into the conservative way of using it. I guess it's kind of an interesting lesson in how language evolves, but it's also sort of annoying.
