Its forcing an apology from generations far beyond those who committed the offenses, and expecting everyone to be happy with it. Its a fake smile at the point of a gun.

politically correct
adj. Abbr. PC
Of, relating to, or supporting broad social, political, and educational change, especially to redress historical injustices in matters such as race, class, gender, and sexual orientation.
Being or perceived as being overconcerned with such change, often to the exclusion of other matters.

Sounds political to me.

Just another example of "white guilt" if you ask me.

Sure!

Why can't we just use hateful names for people whenever we want to? I'm sure we don't mean it.

But that's just it....it is allways political.

People arent usually PC among their "own kind"

When somone is being PC they are playing "politics"  PC is a fake gesture.  It's pretending to make nice so you are not a social outcast.  THAT is playing politics.  Politics isn't allways about govt. either.

not "making others happy" but saying or doing something you are possibly morally opposed to as to not be "offensive" or crass.

Ok so I read the whole thing:
-------------------------------------------------------------
politically correct

Also, PC or p.c. Showing an effort to make broad social and political changes to redress injustices caused by prejudice. It often involves changing or avoiding language that might offend anyone, especially with respect to gender, race, or ethnic background. For example, Editors of major papers have sent out numerous directives concerning politically correct language. This expression was born in the late 1900s, and excesses in trying to conform to its philosophy gave rise to humorous parodies.
---------------------------------------------------------------

PC is Tyrrany by Minority as practiced in the U.S. The constitution does not recognise a right to not be offended. It does recognise the right of free speech, which is the foundation of a free society which values the arena of ideas. Not the tyrrany of a minority which enslaves the language of the majority in a bid to achive dominion over the culture.

Controling the definition of "Words" is one of the tactics Lenin proscribed to over throwing a government. Another tactic was the instilling of collective guilt into the majority population with the redifined "Words" or language. Orthodoxy, dogma, indoctrination. Say the lie loud enough and long enough no matter what evidence, reason, or logic is presented.

This is like the old joke that voters are harsher to their beer brewer if he has an outage, than their politicians after raising their taxes. Death and taxes are certain but, fun and sex is only now.
