The climate political correctness creates........

Please give me a full definition of political correctness. I've asked before and never gotten one. It seems like a very vague concept to me.

Political correctness is a slur term used by people who don't want to be bothered with being polite and considerate, and leveraged by those trying to look superior and self-labeling and politically incorrect. It has no positive meaning.
 
Can't a guy make fun of minorities, gays, women, and basically anyone i feel superior to in some way and not feel guilty about it?

I mean come on.

I get your point and it is a good one.

But PC =/= respect and decency.
 
Can you tell us what it is in positive terminology?

I didn't use negative terminology to begin with so why should I now have to use positive terminology?

My point is that one does not always = the other (not clarified, point granted).

To me "PC" is simply one group of people trying to force everyone else to talk, and eventually think, the way they want them to.

I meant positive in describing what it is, rather than what it is not, as put forth by any supposed proponents of political correctness.

So, for example, the Chinese government and ISIS would be politically correct?
 
Yes, political correctness.

I was intimidated and branded a racist for bringing Rochdale abuse gang to justice, says prosecutor

In the original post, political correctness was linked to a delay in the prosecution. However, even if that were not true, I don't know of anyone who claims that rapes should not be investigated among minorities, regardless of their political background.

Apparently Jihadists and most of India.
