According to the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, using the term “politically correct” as a pejorative is a politically incorrect “microaggression”.
A campaign entitled ‘Just Words’ which seeks to “raise awareness of microaggressions and their impact” asserts that the terms “politically correct” and “PC” have “become a way to deflect, [and say] that people are being too ‘sensitive’ and police language.”
Other words and terms deemed offensive include;
– Lame (Because it “ridicules and ignores the lives of amputees”)
– Retarded (“Targets individuals with varying cognitive, emotional and physical abilities as targets for ridicule”)
– Thug (“Assumes that violence is the sole motivating factor in an action. Ignores issues of poverty, education and other institutional barriers”)
– Illegal Alien (“Fails to recognize the humanity of immigrants”)
– Crazy (“Creates a negative and demeaning of perspective of people with mental diagnoses”)
– Welfare Queen (“Assumes that a female individual is living off of welfare because she is lazy”)
– Trash (Uses class to marginalize and dismiss individuals of lower socioeconomic status”).

That's pathetic. Haha, "microaggression." When did everyone become entitled to a tiny bubble in which they are impervious to everything that they deem "offensive?" What ever happened to the freedom of speech?

This does not constitute a "war on language" in my opinion. If someone is going to try and tell me that I shouldn't make fun of retards I'm probably just going to go along with it out of respect, especially if it's at a school or something.
There's no PC movement to fight. Maybe there are some workplaces that are more socially sterile than they were in the past, but you can blame that on capitalism putting some old stuffy uptight people in charge of all the money, and therefore ultimately in charge of what we can say and do at work.

That is precisely how the phrase "politically correct" is being used in almost every instance on this website.

So, correctly then.
If it's being used as a pejorative, good. Right on target.
The spinelessness of the PC, micro-aggresion worshiping, brain-dead tools is a blight on humanity.

Nope. I treat people decently and as if they are adults. If they're butthurt when I interact with them, that's their issue.
You know, like your perpetual butthurt is your issue.
