So-called political correctness is about righting wrongs that still exist in society. I don't believe it has ever gone mad like a rabid dog, savaging people right and left for having "incorrect" ideas. Therefore as soon as I hear the cliche I steel myself for the rubbish that is about to ensue.
Well said Sundae. Personally, I think that the worst thing that can be said about 'political correctness' is that sometimes people who should know better are a little overzealous in their attempts not to offend people....given that the worst that can be said for what came before political correctness was an acceptance of hideous and demeaning rhetoric and action on matters of race, sexuality, gender and disability, I'd say I'll accept the cons that go with the enormous pros of 'political correctness'.

Better ask Santa what he thinks of the cons of forcing himself to say "ha ha ha" this season.
