| - Seriously people do sometimes take political correctness too far.
- Politically Correct (PC) is a term that arose from the enlightened times of The Reagan Revolution when the Age of liberals was waning and America was returning to her roots as a White, Christian nation. The majority of Americans welcomed this change, but the few liberals who still clung to the hope that their experiment with Nation-Destroying would somehow prevail employed their Vast Media Empire for one final, defiant effort at mind control before fading away and dying off like a stain on a dress.
- Politically Correct is the 18th episode in Season 3 of Beavis and Butt-Head. It is the overall 49th episode.
- Politically correct restrictions on what we can say and how we say it have been imposed by custom and convention. The modern politically correct movement began at the University of Wisconsin-Madison; one of the most liberal institutions in the United States and is often viewed as a liberalist degrading of the freedom of speech. George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four famously incorporated the notion of limiting thought through language (see Newspeak). Words or actions that violate political correctness are called politically incorrect.

| - Seriously people do sometimes take political correctness too far.
- Politically correct restrictions on what we can say and how we say it have been imposed by custom and convention. The modern politically correct movement began at the University of Wisconsin-Madison; one of the most liberal institutions in the United States and is often viewed as a liberalist degrading of the freedom of speech. George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four famously incorporated the notion of limiting thought through language (see Newspeak). Words or actions that violate political correctness are called politically incorrect. At American universities, liberals began imposing political correctness to prevent recognition of differences among gender, religion, belief system, sexual orientation and nationality. In the 1960s, feminists began to demand that the neutral pronouns he, him and his be replaced with expressions like "he or she", "him or her", "them", etc. They argued that no one would be able to understand that the masculine gender included the feminine gender in neutral contexts. But this was just part of their campaign to redefine the social roles traditionally associated with masculinity and femininity. Political correctness or P.C. also means the alteration of ones choice of words in order to avoid either offending a group of people or reinforcing a stereotype considered to be disadvantageous to the group. More specifically, groups which (or whose putative "leaders" or other activists) claim some status as systemically oppressed or discriminated against will periodically attempt to change the terms by which they are referred to and demand that society as a whole change its usage of words as well.
