[quote user="selector"]  ...It [PC] is an attempt to get people to conform to a norm of conduct, to be sure, but the values behind that norm are highly defensible.   [/quote]selector,When I mentioned that PC goes deeper and enters highly controversial areas, the controversy is that not everybody agrees that the ideas behind PC are highly defensible.  I, for instance, believe many of those ideas are absolutely hideous.  On the very surface, PC is about offending people, but it is also a road that leads to tyranny.  Even the part about offending people is highly suspect because it implies a right not to be offended, and yet, it offers no definition of what constitutes offence.  Instead, it leaves the definition up to the one who claims to be offended.  This empowers people to claim redress under the doctrine of PC merely by claiming to be offended.  And their claim cannot be challenged because its only test is the making of the claim.
