Would you please consider using the word "respect" (or disrespect) instead of "politically correct"?

29. But the difference between you

and a group that might object to the use of a term or phrase is that they actually may be hurt or feel socially isolated or ostracized due to the use of a term. If a term is excluding others, why would you object to using another term that incorporates more inclusiveness?

It seems to me there is real, productive and inclusive political correctness and another sort of false or pseudo political correctness that that hides behind the banner of fairness in order to continue to exclude others. Your complaint seems to be political correctness is discrimatory because it interferes with a groups' ability to discriminate. But that is not true political correctness...that is plain old discrimination. Real political correctness is aimed at including everybody, especially those that have been traditionally excluded as a part of historic discriminatory practices.
