Political Correctness

"I'm very much a humanist.  I'm very much politically correct."
Sandra Bernhard

Before starting, it is important to mention that RHEA is non-partisan, in Thai politics and in the politics of other nations (unless we're talking about Neo-Nazis, we're totally okay with weighing in about them.) We feel that people can disagree on some political matters and still stand together against bigotry.  The disclaimer may be necessary as the term politically correct is often associated with right wing politics, we are just talking about this term specifically. 

The term politically correct is often used to mock people or ideas that ask for inclusiveness.  It has become so synonymous with hypersensitivity and censoring ideas and it is the go-to word for people feeling the consequences of saying something offensive.  Calling something politically correct is often a way to complain about progress being made towards becoming a more inclusive society.  

Part of this post has been inspired by the video below.  While "Duck Dynasty" is not relevant enough to Thailand to even merit a comment, this discussion gets interesting.  We made the word collage above that may be useful to fill in synonyms the next time someone accuses you of being 'PC.'
