What we’re really fighting about when we debate “political correctness”

For many "politically correct" people, this is a derogatory one. According to a survey, four-fifths of Republicans and three-fifths of Democrats say that political correctness is a major problem in the United States. Politicians around the world condemn it. It discussed cable news in the context of movies and statues, mascots, Christmas and comedy programs. People are very enthusiastic about this

But some people accuse it politically correctly and others believe that this is a significant social progress. The words we use are constantly changing. Who decides where and where and where to move the line? What are we all discussing about?

Vox solved these problems with this week 's Netflix show "Interpretation". We have a new episode every Wednesday and have themes on meals, ethnically rich and poor people, and women's orgasm. If you like our videos, you will like this show; this is our most ambitious video project so far.

Q & A: Political comedian W. Kamau Bell talks about race and comedy (The Daily Texan talks to W. Kamau Bell.In this episode I interviewed the performances of race, comedy, college campus)

Glenn Baker: People are "indignant" (Conservative broadcasting station Grenbeck, we also interviewed him for this episode and discussed the PC culture he frequently condemns)

I invite white supreme apologies to campus. This is the reason. (I interviewed Zachary Wood's column of Williams College graduate, this episode as well)

Prejudice, "political legitimacy" and normalization of Donald Trump (an article by Julia Serrano, we also interviewed this episode)

"Racial delusions: unintended consequences of political legitimacy" (authors and anthropologist John Jackson spoke, we also interviewed this episode)

Freedom of speech, higher education and the story of PC (Leidiary Professor Heidi Kitrosser, interview also on this episode)

However, one of the problems with the discussion of political justification is that even if you ignore the criteria of unrelated relevance or overreaction in an authorized commentator in the state, you can also change the proportion of campus protestors and cautiousness It is sought immediately. I often see experts (including Harris), but they seem to be afraid of "PC culture" rather than the problem PC culture is trying to solve. I understand this in a sense. If you are a white male expert who exchanges controversial opinions, PC culture may certainly pose a greater threat to you than to its inequality in war.

The essence of the argument applies to how we use our speech in the world. People who oppose political legitimacy often argue that the group is in our culture so that most people can not speak freely. Political correctness is regarded as an insult to freedom of speech. Because it forms a culture and opposes those who are condemned for PC rude. Politically correct is nothing to do with truth or lying. This is not a rewrite of history. It is not a way to shape people's communication. This is about kindness. Let's see the most benign personal example: I do not like being called "ginger". After all, my name is David, and the fact that my hair is orange is not related to men. I have not asked you to pretend that I was not myself.

Multiculturalism is not political correctness. We all have heard a joke about "political correctness". It shows that we do something and say something because they are right. Unfortunately, some people think the university's diverse curriculum is politically correct. If you hear such remarks, please use your critical thinking skills in higher education to discover the truth through research and research - research repeatedly demonstrates plans to promote diversity value and diversity I did it.
