I have a few vague memories of political correctness as a child. All of these memories center around what terms were to be used when referring to a race. At least, in the eyes of a child, it seemed like it was all about avoiding needlessly offending people, which is a reasonable goal. However, as time has gone by and the PC movement has grown, it has taken on a completely new agenda. In recent years, it has become a demand that you don’t say anything that might hurt, offend or otherwise make anyone within a 500 mile radius even the least bit uncomfortable, even if what you are saying is the truth. In fact, in this new PC culture the truth holds little to no weight, because the focus is all about people’s feelings. More on that later.
