Is it possible for political correctness to live during the postmodern age?

I guess anything is possible, but political correctness is, in my opinion, a big joke.  Politicial correctness is like sugar coating things.  I like to call things as they are.  For example, if someone is gay, they are homosexual.  To me gay guys are butt f*ckers.  They are but so many get offended by it.  Everyone should just accept things how they are and stop getting offended over the truth.

Political correctness is a term generally used to disparage efforts to raise awareness about and eliminate social and political biases in language and other forms of representation. The term also appears in the adjectival form politically correct (often abbreviated PC). While it frequently refers to a linguistic phenomenon, it is also extended to cover political ideology and behavior.

Yes.  Homophobia and gay bashing are still rampant.  Just look at some of the answers to questions here and you'll see it,

Even harsh truth is better than polite political correctness.

Don't you just get tired of so-called political correctness?  I know I do.  There is always somebody eager to be offended by everything.

First off, what's political correctness?  Name one politician who's ever been correct about anything. I guess it's OK to lie, cheat steal and commit adultery if that's being politically correct.

Fear of the thought police!!! Honesty used to be the best policy until every word you say became scrutinized for any hint of offensiveness - in any meaningful discussion there are generally at least two sides so someone is going to find something to be offended by.  In truth political correctness creates roadblocks to the dynamic thinking and creative dialog that has served human kind since the beginning.  As long as there are people like you asking the question we are not doomed - keep questioning everything it is the only way to achieve wisdom.

Miss Manners thinks it to be important for you to pose this question and for you and others to ponder the demise of manners.  Some of you have made important observations.\n\nTake a close look at society and culture before the 1960s and you will find many clues to the revolutions of our times.

Politically Correctness is backwards.  I don't mean oxi-moron, I dissapprove of anarchy.  If everyone were to be truly politically correct, language would die.

I think we are too judgmental.  I run across people passing judgments on others all the time.  It doesn't seem to matter whether the thing upon which a judgment is being passed is large (like the war, or some dictator committing human rights violations in another country) or small (like whether it is okay to put ketchup on a hot dog), everybody has an opinion.  The problem is that, in the time since the start of the political correctness movement, everyone with an opinion feels a  sense of entitlement to try to impose that viewpoint on everybody else.

I am brutally honest and I don't believe in sugar coating something to make myself look better so I imagine I am as far from Politically correct as they come...\n\nTo correct myself according to what society wishes I were...would be to compromise my own dignity and morals.

I am VERY sick of being politically correct. Everyone seems so sensitive, women, blacks, Mexicans, gays, everyone. Funny the only people we never have to be sensitive to is White Christian Men, because they can be ripped on all the time. Funny how that works.

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.

Because they seem to have the medias ear after 9/11. Also political correctness means every one needs to be labeled these days as somthing or other.
