Well then my point, in a clearer explanation is this:
Much of what gets labeled as "political correctness" and "first amendment attacks" is little more than a person or group of people hoping or asking that people can talk and converse without every third word out of their mouth being some kind of potentially loaded word that can be an attack on a group of people or can cause harm to other people.
Very few of these things are actually people codifying those requests into law with negative consequences from the government for doing so. Almost none, actually.
So yea, being "politically correct" is an ugly attribute to many people, but if being "politically correct" means that I don't lob harmful verbal firebombs at people all the time with the intent of hurting them, and wish that other people would consider doing the same a bit more often, then yea, sign me up for being politically correct.
Such a horrible thing that is, being empathic and trying not to hurt other people and make them feel like $hit all the time.
