Political Correctness
RE: Political Correctness
You're right, I think she summarized the PC position very well; but in doing so, there are some things that are so obvious (to her) that she didn't bother to address them. Here's the unspoken question behind all this: is it wrong to be bigoted or biased against any particular group of people? And if it IS wrong, who should police their behavior, and what should the consequences of the behavior be?

Anyway, she is not actually talking about PC, in my opinion. She's talking about basic social fairness. To me, there's a difference: PC is a kind of social fascism. It doesn't allow for opinion, or for deviation from the proscribed "right" view. It snowballs into an environment in which you literally can't do anything but fawn over every minority group else risk being jumped on.

I'm biased against douchebags. The problem is that some of them are black, handicapped, or gay, or pretend to support black, handicapped or gay people. And many of them aren't interested in equality at all-- they are interested in having something to get pissy about just because it makes them feel important.
