From its
origins as
Stalinist rhetoric in the 30's, to ironic Left-wing jibe in the 70's, to
Iconoclastic taunt in the 80's, to the Conservative pejorative of today, has the
term
Political
Correctness had its day? It's probably just me but it seems to be used
far more frequently by people who are in positions of power or by those more in
tune with society's mainstream
orthodoxy than by those who aren't. Of
course, no one ever calls
themselves politically correct. What do you
think, what does the p.c. term mean to you?
