I agree that the extreme application is the bigger problem. I consider being politically correct a problem as well though because it creates a sense of entitlement. Now on its own that's not necessarily a terrible thing, it only really becomes a big problem when combined with the extreme application. But it does create an environment where the go-to response of "oh no, someone I've never met, across the country, did something I personally find offensive" is "I better start a crusade and get an apology for that!".
