Examining the various rightwing attacks on "political correctness" revealed
one core definition.

For centuries the same white right succeeded in imposing its economic,
historical, political, sexual, and religious views on society, often
financed with tax dollars and usually backed up with a gun.

"Political correctness" is anything that challenges their particular
dominations by challenging their power to enforce that domination.

Even the term "pc" often attributed to the Left or Progressive movement
leading white right ideologists admit was taken from a cartoon strip.

It is also one reason my caution flags go up when I hear ostensible
Progressive forces bemoaning the same "pc".
