What exactly is this thing "Political Correctness" ? Where did it come from? It certainly came to prominence as a concept in the late 20th early 21st century. Why?
Was it because of the the glaring absurdity of changing a child's story; for instance Black Beauty because in THIS instance the word 'Black' could be deemed as racist, or changing the name of a British pudding 'Spotted Dick' because the word 'Dick' was deemed to be offensive?
THAT to me is what spawned the terminology: 'Political Correctness'. A need for appeasement that verges on comedic farce!
OR:
has this terminology been seen as a perfect tool to justify cruelty, denial, bigotry, religious and racist intolerance?
THAT to me is how it is being used.
I am reminded of the saying: "Justice for me is being allowed to do and say what I want;- injustice is your preventing me from doing it".
I very obviously believe that the concept of 'political correctness' has been hijacked to justify an 'open slather' approach to the things I have listed.
What do YOU think?
