Why does everybody hate political correctness?

<p>

</p>

<p>haha thats an interesting way to look at it.</p>

<p>Personally, I can’t stand political correctness because it stifles free speech and fosters fear of words themselves, which is not healthy for society. When you can’t say something for fear of offending “someone”, you are no longer truly free.
Political correctness is basically a nicer way of saying “censorship” - and not just censorship, but censorship for no other reason than “it offends me”. </p>

<p>IMHO, it is also contributing to the “wussification” of society. People simply cannot stand being offended anymore, and think they have a right to force (read: legislate or sue) other people to not do or say anything that might offend them. My (politically incorrect) response is “F*#& you, deal with it” ;)</p>
