Man, our culture doesn't get racism... (Gaming)

I think being PC is supposed to neutralize or normalize communication so that many more people can get the most of your message without cultural stigmas, barriers, or emotional context blurring the message.

It makes a lot of sense to a business that has to deal with many different people they can't hope to communicate with all at a personalized level.

And it is supposed to assure at least a facade of mutual respect, but that's entirely up to the communicator in question and their level of respect for themselves and other people.

It is a bit of a cop-out, but the sentiment is most certainly to secure respect and neutralized communication for very different people.

Yeah I agree with this completely. It's in everyday life that PC is more of a hindrance than a help. Communication would take a considerable bit more time (or be impossible in certain situations) if we termed everything we say in PC language. We can be respectful toward people without using PC language.
