Political correctness is actually pretty horrible. Try living in a communist country for a few years and you may start valuing tolerance of "incorrect" views more than you currently do. For the most part, the US isn't too bad as far as political correctness yet. That said, it's been getting worse since the Bush presidency (when it was "unpatriotic" to oppose the Iraq war, etc). Now it's fair to say that areas of scientific research (e.g evolutionary psychology) are rapidly becoming verboten and abandoned by the younger generations of scientists.
