Until about 3-4 years ago, "politically correct" or just "PC" would have been the pejorative to use. Are people getting so lazy they no longer want to say so many syllables? |
I remember the PC movement all too well. In some ways they were just as bad as the right when it came to free speech. Professors actually lost their jobs if they dared to even slightly sway from the PC political line. You can't have a free society if you have to walk on eggshells all the time. Anyway there's a difference between a Proud Boy and some misinformed twit that thinks blacks can't swim. One means malice while the other, well, I guess lived in a different time. Anyway, the PC movement was never able to tell the difference between real racism (that indeed is out there) and someone having an opinion that didn't quite fit in with their philosophy.
