I'm not sure PC itself a weapon, but I get your point. PC is so ingrained in American culture that we implicitly accept that certain degree of PC is needed.

- registeredcorn 5y agoFair enough. My perspective is that PC is a destructive act to culture, whether it be American, European, Spanish, etc. I can hardly expect everyone to agree with me on that point. I suppose my concern with that perspective would be something close to, "Can you extrapolate the difference between common courtesy and political correctness?" I don't know if that sounds insulting somehow - it's not meant to be, but sometimes when I ask those sorts of questions, it badly received. Anyway, to my mind, there is a difference between a need for politeness & civil discourse, and a perspective which intends to enforce those ideals through destructive language and cultural upheaval. One is self-imposed, the other an imposition.
