is the term "politically correct" politically incorrect?
    #22415737 - 10/21/15 09:16 PM (8 years, 3 months ago)

sounds like it, at least according to.... Wisconsin. What say yee?


Quote:

If you thought that the war on language being waged by some American colleges was out of control, you ain’t seen nothing yet.



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”).

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.

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.

My sphincter is fine. So is my reasoning abilities, my ability to hear things without being butthurt and my ability to laugh at butthurt whiners and losers.

Perhaps you should work at developing the spine you so clearly lack.

There is no PC movement. People who are decent and empathic are that not "to be PC" but because they are guided by their moral compass. It represents their inner values, its not a conspiracy to stifle the free speech of dissocial folks.

Thats at least for the socially considerate people I know.

:lmafo:  You say some amazingly stupid shit.

It's not those who are PC for internal reasons that are the problem. Being decent to others is a moral action.

Forcing others to conform is the immoral path. The micro-aggression crowd being among the dumbest of those. The butthurt whiners are too weak internally. They lack something others do not. Strength, fortitude, maturity.

:facepalm:    No shit, that's not what the PC movement is saying, they're restricting using the word "retarded", can you see the difference? :flowstone:

"There's no PC movement to fight"

Really, why don't you visit a college campus or a corporate work site some day, you are clueless on the subject matter.

"blame that on capitalism"

:facepalm:  You're really a piece of work, capitalism isn't the blame, it functioned perfectly fine before PC invaded the work site, the blame lies with the morons that buy into this oppressive ideology.

I wouldn't credit political correctness for any of the "injustices" that might have been resolved throughout the years.

All the PC movement has achieved is creating animosity towards one demographic- straight white males.

Here's a story of what happens in the PC world, my friend was in college in the early 90's just about the time when PC hit the college campuses.  There was a long list of banned words to "protect" the minorities on campus.

One day he was in a private conversation with a friend in the hallway, someone overheard him saying the word "fag" in his conversation and then reported him to university officials.  One hour later he had some liberal lesbian professor at his dorm room with a pile of books and paperwork, he was threatened with EXPULSION if he didn't admit he said the word and that he was homophobic.

He said he didn't even remember if he said that word and if he did it was just in casual conversation, and had nothing to do with homosexuality. He was ordered to attended "sensitivity classes" and was told how horrible of a person he was, because being a straight white male automatically makes a person guilty.

If someone thinks I should be silenced, or I am a jerk/asshole because I make a joke with the word fag in it (considering I've taken miles of cock up my ass for the right to say it) if you think I'm a jerk for saying lame or retarded, I think YOU have a crooked moral compass. Part of a good moral compass is strength, and this attitude displays nothing but pussyass mental midget superman wanna be weakness. Which in my world, is morally inferior.

No treating people decently is called treating people decently, political correctness is based on threatening people that use words or think differently than their warped ideology, big difference.

Guess what, if I want to use to word "thug" to describe a thug, PC isn't going to stop me. It's called freedom of speech, something that PC discourages.

Political correctness means using words or behavior which will not offend any group of people. That's the bare bones definition. People who do this, generally do so out of decency. They are appreciative of the fact that words like "thug" "faggot" and "negro" have taken on certain connotations in society and to do so, they avoid using those words out of the sincere desire to not cause offense in those people.

That's part of decency and of being a gentleman or lady, conforming ones behavior to the comfort of those around you.

Then there are people who knows certain words offend, but instead of adjusting their vocabulary out of politeness they deliberately choose to offend and often defend their right to do so. Rather than the attitude of asdjusting to their company they have the attitude that their company should adjust to them.

Maybe you just haven't looked at it this way.

"Political correctness means using words or behavior which will not offend any group of people." is the core definition of political correctness.

"conforming ones behavior to the comfort of those around you"

Or else right?  Since when do civilized people have to conform their "behavior" for the "comfort" of other people or face serious ramifications?  That's called bullying and it's immoral.

It looks like women, ethic minorities, and homosexuals all ganged up together to blame straight white males for their problems, conform or else is the message.  Guess what?  The PC movement is a joke that no sane person respects.

Back in the day Political Correctness was called faggotry.  Microaggressions?  Suck it up, buttercup.  A fucking society of overly sensitive wimps.  Has anybody noticed that the only group it is socially acceptable to make fun of and bash are white heterosexual males?  Here is my message to all those who partake.  I'm tough enough, assholes.  We rule, you drool.

if i was a part of the crowd you might have been onto something with that.

unfortunately the fence i sit on is rather large, on this issue of who's being a wimp and who isn't in this debate. i just don't care enough about people's 'talk' when the proceeding actions don't even nearly affirm the words.
