Politically correct is about being polite:

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/politically correct

Discrimination is about giving one person a job over another or giving preference to a person based on race / sex / etc..

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/discrimination

If you're gonna argue, at least use the correct terms for it all... ;-)

People being overly worried about being politically correct though often leads directly to discrimination, as I'm currently finding in my life.

Also political correctness is often politeness to a silly extent. I mean no offence if I describe someone as black and no one has ever been offended by it, but I've often heard it isn't politically correct.

Click to expand...

Sure, but when it leads to discrimination, it's called discrimination. That's my point. Hate either all you want, but I've got no problem with someone being politically correct. I do disagree with discrimination in all forms.

That's like saying I hate people dying because of a bomb but don't hate the idea of the bomb being dropped.

I hate political correctness because more often than not in my experience it leads to discrimination. Someone being polite I have no issue with. Tbh I feeling this conversation is just arising because of a different common usage of political correctness in our respective parts of the world.

Very likely a local difference, though the Merriam-Webster English dictionary agrees with my understanding / use of it.

A bomb being dropped usually leads to people dying. I hate people dying therefore I hate bombs.

Political correctness usually leads to discrimination. I hate discrimination, therefore I hate political correctness.

Fair enough. Not a dictionary I've heard of before and I don't agree with it as a complete definition so I guess that's the source of our disagreement.

No, my definition IS the definition of political correctness. Merriam-Webster, not surprisingly tries to be politically correct about, though the definitions are the same, an avoidance of truth.

Political correctness is insanity.

Welcome to my world. I've been living here since about 1965. I hope, wish, and pray that no one you love has to stay here very long if ever. I tend to see the uglier side of life because that is what others have shown me. I apologize for upsetting you and I apologize to the Forum for taking this so off topic.
