Political Correctness... not bad per definition!?

Meh.   The definition makes it sound like an okay thing but the reality and implementation of it is lunacy. 
There's being polite and empathetic human being and then there is knee-jerk thought policing Political Correctness.  The problem here is the definition is created by the fringe who are selling the insanity.  

Good intentions gone astray.

Me: (Sitting down at a table at Burger Place with my burger)
Random Person at adjoining table: Excuse me, could I ask you to sit somewhere else, we're vegan and I find it offensive when someone eats an innocent slaughtered animal in front of us.
Me: Okay... (looks around, no open tables) Um, you know this is a burger place?
RP: (Self righteous in tone) Okay, excuse me, I asked you nicely to take your bloody sandwich someplace else.
Me: Um, there's no other place to sit.
RP: (Now angrily exasperated) Listen, murderer, if you don't leave, we're going to have to protest while you're eating.
Me: (Nervously) I seriously don't think I can...
RP: (Starts shrieking at the top of her lungs, her 2 friends join in)

Riddle: How many Polish does it take to change a light bulb?
Answer: Five; one to hold the bulb, and four to turn the ladder.

 …and the actual term was Polock (meant dumb), because everybody had their special insult. The Irish were Micks (also dumb), Swedish like me fell under the dismissive label Scandihoovians (big tough and dumb, ya), African-American was “a black cloud coming down the street.”
"That red shirt makes you look like a Greek."

Among my rough-and-tumble people of logging country, if they do not insult you it means they do not like you; politeness reserved as itself the deepest insult you could render.

So when I found myself working alongside African-Americans in 1967 affirmative action San Francisco, my language was making people actually cringe.
But the solution was simple; “Oh please don’t say it like that, say this instead.” It was difficult changing my whole way of speaking, but as I became close with my co-workers I understood what they had left behind in Alabama, etc. and I became highly motivated. I cleaned up my expressions, and then again in the 1980's for gender bias...that made sense to me.

Typically now, if someone goes all off into PC outrage mode I don’t even pay much attention – except to put distance between me and them – because in my experience the listener really can participate by hearing the intention of the speaker.

Socially disadvantaged or discriminated against? Not sure who defines those things.  Years ago we would not do any of those out of respect and politeness - was simply a matter of good breeding.  Now has hardened into a belief system that purports to reach beyond politeness and into people's hearts.  And has created a gallery of "sacred cows" in the process that by definition, because of the "victim" status assigned them, have come to define what is "right".  That is because of their status they can do no wrong.  At least politically.  And becomes open season on anyone who doesn't go along with the program.  Such hatred and vitriol they pour out.  Not only that but they feel justified in every bit of their hatred and vitriol,  Because they define anyone who thinks and acts in a different manner from them as "wrong".  Whatever. Totalitarianism much?

Don't judge a book by its cover. No body shaming please. Besides, muscles don't win fights - skills do. A boxing match isn't a push-up contest, and it isn't a sit-up contest. Meet Tyson Fury. So what if he's obese. So what if he's a gypsy. The guy can fight. He's unbeaten. Undisputed world champion who dethroned Wladimir Klitschko. He's a success story. Haters stop hating. Here are 4 images of the best boxer in the world. 





It's hard to believe, but he really is the best fighter on the planet. "There isn't a man born from his mother who can beat Tyson Fury".
