With that being said, there are ways to be tactful and respectful about subjects that may be sensitive to others. As they say, "speak the truth in love", and all that.

As for avoiding racist jokes, etc, I don't even consider that having anything to do with political correctness. That's just being a decent human.
To be honest, I think you're actually highlighting the reasons why political correctness became a thing in the first place. If you believe in being considerate of others, of being truthful, tactful, and respectful, and of avoiding racist jokes, then it seems to me you should very much be a fan of PC. Maybe it's just me, but being PC was always intended to remind people of the importance of being a decent human being.
Well, you know, before conservatives got hold of the phrase.
