When did Political Correctness become a problem?

sometime in the 88 - tru the 90's.\nI think if you respect people they won't have a problem with things quite so much.

When political correctness finds its rightful place in the ash heap of history.

Yes, because liberals gave us political correctness.  If you disagree with them they'll automatically call you a racist, homophobe, xenophobe or what have you.  You can't really have a rational discussion with them, because they're so upset that anyone would dare disagree with them.

The fact is, the world today, and especially our nation, is so dependent on political correctness and fear of stepping on someone else's religious toes, that no one really dares to step on his remarks for fear of being attacked on all sides by rabid Islamic-Freedom lobbyists, shady gang-bangers/sure terrorists, and their local church. It's become too much a game of who can say the most pleasing thing, and too little a matter of actually solving problems.

I think racism is still a major problem in America.  It's just not as visible as it used to be.  Racism today is more subtle, and to me that's even worse.  I don't think it's really an issue of it being allowed.  There's nothing that can really be done about it.  Everyone should see the movie "Crash."

Hell, I thought it was all this time!\n\nOf course, the idiots have already came out and started to throw around the "R" word (racist).  Bunch of damn fools!

I think political correctness is what is bringing our country down today. Everyone is so afraid of hurting everyone's feelings, no one can really say what they feel anymore.\n\nWhen I was growing up, there was much more cooperation in the nation. You could actually *gasp!* disagree with someone, and it was okay. You felt one way, and your neighbor felt another way. When the debate was over, you rolled up your sleeves and went to work side-by-side to get the work done.\n\nToday, if you disagree with someone, you are a traitor or ignorant or a moron. Just look at some of the things people are saying about me on this website solely because I am a conservative Republican.\n\nThere is no Constitutional guarantee against being offended. If you don't like what someone is saying, so what? Appreciate the difference of opinion - discourse is what made this country great.\n\nPeople need to grow up and stop wearing their emotions on their sleeve.

Whether or not you believe in evolution, etc, you have to admit that in many cases, 'political correctness' does it's very best to hide the truth. It also does alot to silence those who merely seek it.

After giving this a lot of thought I have decided that political correctedness actually keeps every one talking about what to call a problem instead of talking about the problem. It appears to be a terminal condition in the USA. When I see rapists and murderers "get off" because of political correctedness or I see violence and hate crimes acted out because of political correctedness or innocent people killed in an abortion clinic bombing because of political correctedness - I need no further proof that it does not benefit the USA.\n\nGreat topic for discussion.

It's become much more polarized.  Rather than genuine discourse, people rely on catchy phrases that often mischaracterize what is really meant.

Political correctness is unjust and nonsense where common sense barley makes it. It increases prejudice and discrimination by picking on and highlighting issues that before was not there but only in the cranky minds of the political correctness brigade. It barmy liberal laws has benefited hard and persistant criminals as themselves real victims and treated so softly that the police are now powerless to stop criminals re-offending which for the real victims of these criminal brutes they are the last consideration only to be insulted by court decisions of leniency to their wrongdoers.\nPolitical correctness is has become a cancer to decent common sense and blights our society and it is high time it was thrown into the history books of legalised madness that should never be allowed to rear it's ugly head again.

personally, i don't believe in the term "politically correct" because i think as a free human being, you have the ability to decide for yourself what you think is correct. In a way i do aagree with you, a part of society is trying to be so anti racist, that it sort of backfires, but then again on the otherside of the scale there are still many many people who really are racists. I think we need to put a stop to this, why do we have to be portrayed as a colour, why can't we all just be portrayed as human beings? is there something so wrong or hard about that , that people can't just try it, for once just try treating everbody equally. peace out.

'These days': a period of my life where 'political correctness' has gone completely mad.  A time where people with minority views inflict their opinions on the majority. A time of total indiscipline in manners and respect for other people and property.  A time of my life when I have sufficient finances to do what I want, but am afraid to do so.  A time of my life where the ...............and so on and so on..........

Yes!  It's political correctness gone mad!  Everyone is so obsessed with p.u.s.s.y footing around all the minorities of the world and changing this and that so as not to offend their supposedly fragile sense of self worth.  It makes me mad as Hell to see all of the current beliefs, ideals and interpretations on our own perception of the the world messed with and changed in order to incorporate the views of the few.  We should all stick to what we know and believe in regardless of what others think.
