Discussions of "PC" fill me with existential dread, but here's my anecdata: I've seen a good share of rude and disrespectful people who chalk it to being "un-PC", and I've seen a good share of people who talk a great deal about empathy, inclusiveness and cultural sensitivity and are thorough jerks. As the former pride themselves in being rude, the latter excuse (or justify) their behavior on the need to go against the status quo/not perpetuate inequalities, etc. It's much like how the "feminism = equality" slogan is inaccurate; not being accurate does not mean it's the opposite, but that it's an oversimplifying definition for the masses that actually ignores all the theory, politics, history and movements of it.
