I meant that when I hear complaints from the right about pc it sounds like they want public officials to put those people in their place by using the N word or going back to denouncing homosexuality in press conferences. The reality is we all have the right to use the words we want but everyone else still has the right to label us for the asshole we are when our words expose beliefs that the wider culture no longer accepts.

Obviously it gets out of line on college campuses because campuses are experimental places where kids experiment with ideas, humans are largely stupid, and lefty professors do often want censorship. It can go too far interfering in conversation about important topics like immigration, but in the wider culture it generally it isn't that. It's people trying to put others back in their place. When pc goes too far by limiting ideas you can argue it on free speech grounds and usually without being a douche.
