"Politically correct" is basically code for "not being an insensitive jackass." Why is being inclusive and tolerant and considerate of others' feelings a bad thing? Most of the time, someone complaining about political correctness wants to say/do something offensive/rude/bigoted without being called on it.

Ya, pretty awful examples. Midget. And Merry Christmas. Whoa, dare I say Wonton? Wonton is chinese food. Must be a racial slur. What if someone was offended by the username Fatso? What then? Fatso. Fatso is apparently a champion of political correctness. Even though he has the username Fatso.
