/pəˈlidəkəl kəˈrek(t)nəs/
noun
the avoidance, often considered as taken to extremes,
of forms of expression or action that are perceived to exclude,
marginalize, or insult groups of people who are socially
disadvantaged or discriminated against.
If you think "political correctness" is about not being "offensive", you're missing the point. Calling someone an ass isn't politically incorrect, even though it's (probably) offensive and rude.
