One thing about P.C. is that it means different things to different people.  One of the most common meanings is a societal taboo against racial or gender stereotyping.  There is nothing unreasonable about that, but PC goes a lot deeper where it becomes intensely controversial.  The Imus case is a classic example of violating PC at that surface level.  But going deeper, PC is ultimately a doctrine of rules about what you say and even what you think.  These rules cover a wide range of human activity.  They are mostly enforced by society's ability to inflict punishment on individuals, but the ones who push PC would like nothing better than to make PC compliance the law.  Once you understand the rules of the doctrine, you can readily differentiate people who comply with PC with those who do not. PC always promotes itself under the banner of fairness, and that includes not offending anyone, not even the most thin-skinned.   So PC abhors arguments or anything resembling conflict or competition.  It is as if it seeks to stifle those characteristics out of society because they foster spirited individuals who may ultimately challenge PC doctrine itself. Whatever you think constitutes political correctness, you can really get your mind mangled by studying the Wikipedia explanation of the term.  In my personal opinion, I think they are muddying up the water a little.  I had no idea it was so hard to pin down. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_correctness">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_correctness</a>
